Well, at least you know where to find 'em then. Much neater than having them spread willy-nilly all across the land.

Yes. It's greatly appreciated that they keep out of the middle.

We're spread-out enough that we can penetrate the border at any given point!!  ;)

At Stagger'n,

I am a 1 hour drive south of Leduc (Arctic Blast) in a city called Red Deer... population 90 000. Major industries: oil and gas, agriculture, healthcare, and crack cocaine.

Claim to fame - shit restaraunts
Motto: At least we're not as bad as Lethbridge.

Motto of the crack users.

I'm in Lethbridge which is quite nice. There is good mosquito control so you can go out anytime unmolested. The rest of Alberta seems to be full of tiger mosquitoes which are immune to DEET. They ignore it. The city is big enough to have all the amenities while small enough to get anywhere in 15 minutes. Property prices are still low for a city of 100k.

Stagger, how close to Ottawa are you?

I'm in Connecticut, about 7&1/2 hours' drive according to google maps.

LOL "Lotusland"- You saying that Vancouver is Canada's San Franscisco?

Everybody calls Vancouver Canada's San Fran. All the fruits and nuts seem to gather at the western edge of the continent...  :P

That or Hongcouver.

I just wanted to post something that would, ultimately, give LB's hard-drive another work-out.  ;)

I figured that "penetrate" and "border" in the same post, should get some attention!!

Heh. You can't post anything that hasn't already been panty raided before.

The Snowden revelations have been useful. Before I just thought it was a handful of idiots coming back to scan an obviously dry well.

Now I know it's multiple organizations full of idiots datamining every dry well in the world. Plus a few real ones when they get lucky.

Guess I found this thread a bit late.  I think someone posted a photo of the Mont Royal Cemetery up in Cote-des-Neiges.  Great place for a walk, some good vietnamese food just around the corner too.

Endfire, for some reason I thought you were a Brit. Now I know better.

Easy mistake. The chopsticks-in-the-nose gag is commonly thought to be the British version of Vaudevillian slapstick, but that's not universally true.

I grew up with BBC comedy on PBS as a kid, Blackadder was great!  Doing a lot of work travel to UK these days, funny how things turn out.

No, it's not that. I thought you had posted some kind of UK place name or food reference or something in such a way that it made me think you lived there.

Got a chuckle out of this when I saw it this morning :D


It seems the person who previously owned the bike is a bit upset.
A Corporate Executive,a Democrat and a Republican walk into a room.The CEO walks in first and notices 10 cookies on a plate and pockets 9 of them,then turns to the Republican and whispers in his ear  and says "The Democrat is trying to steal your cookie".
