Thanks Windigo. And thanks to Canada for being Canada so we don't have to. Love you guys.

yes, thank you for clogging the streets of south floriduh with shitty driving.

Sir Slash · July 22, 2023, 12:13:53 PM

Oh, come on. They're not that bad drivers, just wish they could hit a parking place once in a while.

Come on, guys, we Americans really do appreciate our northern neighbors' exports of lumber, forest fire smoke, and maple syrup.

Having spent time backpacking throughout Southeast Asia in my 20s, I came to the conclusion that Canadian basically have the same values as Americans but they're just more mellow about everything. Except being mistaken for Americans.

Besides, Lord knows we need somebody to serve as the good guys in case we go Full On Gilead at some point.

We've had enough smoke, Canadistan can stop with the exports of that now.

I love Canadians. Thank you for giving our football players too old or not able to make it in the NFL a place to go and play. Now that's good neighbors.

We love the NFL castoffs. They rock.

I remember checking out a book from my elementary school library about the American Revolution. What was really great about it was that it had tons of drawings about the battle field situation for most the battles fought in the war. Step by step depictions of a battles' progress complete with birds eye views of the battle field.

The drawings were similar to looking at a bunch of units in any given total war game today. IOW you got an oblique top down view point of neatly arranged lines of soldiers firing at each other on opposite ends of the battlefield.

I just realized how cool this book really was and wish I could remember it's title or ISBN and buy it.

I remember those books too and they were great. I think a friend of mine still has them. American Heritage?

^The WWI book by General S.L.A. Marshall is an American Heritage book and still one of my favorites of all time.
