I went to the Mustard Festival this evening, a local jazz and blues festival occurring every year over Labour Day weekend. At one point, after trying to enjoy a blues band with less soul than a room full of Shakers, this shot of hot liquid hit my ear. I know there's such an animal as acid rain, but that was going a bit beyond. Turns out the man sitting behind me was eating an ear of corn, and his biting into a niblet included projectile spray.

Hamilton, so I learned, is the world's largest miller of mustard seed. Who knew?
