TAI,

It's the law here. When you're on private property (i.e. shopping centre) pedestrians have the right of way at all times.

And enough of telling the Americans about our secret ceremonies please. Interpol is watching!

Hey Syl! Come on Up! It's beautiful here, the people are great, the lakes are awesome ..very diverse......I understand the grits thing...which by the way remind me of cream of wheat cereal, but it's kind of like when I moved to the States and asked for some gravy on my fries...could not be done...I tried vinegar after that...couldn't be done....and getting an good cup of hot tea was amusing for the longest while. I adapted but the minute I hit the old home town I had poutine and butter tarts for dessert....home sweet home.

Nunavit has officially been upgraded to Provincial status so we now have 11 provinces and 2 territories. Not that it changes anything very much. It's still very cold up there. p Think Alaska

I loved the prairies when I first got there. I could not believe the sky could be so big. But I found I missed my mountains and hiils. So one day my then husband (#2) decided to take me to their mountains. So we drove and drove and I said "So where are they?" and he said you'll see them in just a few minutes. I know I wasn't goign blind. I sure enough saw nothing that could remotely be called a small hill never mind a mountain. So we drove and drove and he says we are here. Yup flat as a pancake and then all of a sudden we are at the top of a cliff with a fast winding drive to the bottom. When we got to the bottom he says "See. Mountains!" I'm sorry but I'm just not that dumb.

It was like the lake he took me to see. We drove and drove and I had to find a wahsroom but he says "We are almost there". So I hold it and we driove and drive and he asays "Can't you see it?" What I see sand hunes. He says the lake is just on the other side. So he parks the cars and gets me to go up this sand dune and proudly announces his lake. "What lake?' I say. All I see is sand dunes. And then I see the sand dunes are moving. The lake is brown. I almost peed myself laughing. And he was so upset that I was laughing at his brown lake.

BTW The reason it is brown is because the lake is fed by the Red River which comes from the States. It drags tons of silt up north with it and dumps it in the lake.

I am so glad to be back where lakes look like lakes.

Now Prince William and his bride landed in Ottawa today and were downtoen greeting people. And me? I was sitting in my Dr's office talking to her abotu an allergic reaction I had to a medication she gave me.

But I'm going to see them tomorrow

*raises hand* also from the prairies. Ummm, that "mustard" field you are glowing about is canola.

Read up on John Ware, first black Canadian Cowboy. http://www.dacosta400.ca/cavalcade/blackcowboys.shtml

He was some horseman.
