Pringle is definitely a `chip' off the old block.

Pray tell, why? Even SOME of us south of the border can certainly
appreciate a lady with a cute smile, and a great personality that lets
her periodically abuse the helmet haired guy... who definitely looked
like he deserved the abuse! She even had the affrontery to DISAGREE
with the statements some of the people she interviewed made! After the
non-personality of the morning people down here, she was a WONDERFUL
change!
Can one become an HONORARY Canadian? How many trips to Canada are
required? Is it necessary to learn a foreign language - I think what
the people in Nova Scotia were speaking English but I'm not sure...
Can one of you pronounce the following letters and/or words:
"r", "ou", "Mazda", "Nuclear", "Methyl", "Aluminum"...
BTW: The ONLY reason I'm back is because my wife SAID we had to come
home! I figured from Jasper we could head west through more of British
Columbia for AT LEAST another couple weeks. I mean, lets face it,
what's Digital gonna do at this point - FIRE ME?

| Make sure you DO go back and finish off the trip through BC. Especially the
Okanagan valley. My dreams always take be back there.
OHHHHHHHghghgh, OOOOOOkaaanaaagaaan Vaaaaaaleeeeey!! :^)

| First, Brian, the $25 is on its way - that was $25 Canadian right?
But, I'm concerned - is there GST on that? If I'm an honorary citizen
can I still get the refund of the GST back when I return "south of the
border"?
BTW: I drove past Ottawa on the way to Nova Scotia - we'd have loved
to visit Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City but we simply didn't have
time that trip. All kidding aside, I also want to learn some french
before we go - it seems polite that I at least be able to ask simple
questions in the language of choice of the folks I'm visiting... If
there even is a Quebec by then. I must confess to not understanding
all the wrangling about that whole thing but I don't want to rekindle
the flames of the war in this note...
I did get a major chuckle one night when the news guys in Calgary were
complaining about how some Alberta companies WERE MOVING "SOUTH OF THE
BORDER" and blaming NAFTA for that - here in the US we complain about
exactly the same thing but its because they're moving to Mexico...
And, yeah, one of these days I want to explore British Columbia, the
Yukon, and get up to Alaska. I also want BIG TIME to get up to
Blackcomb and Whistler in BC for skiing some day!
I'm stil waiting for those pronunciations though...

| No, we lie and cheat, we're too cheap to trick or treat.
Hey! That rhymes! I'm a poet and I didn't even suspect for a moment that
I possibly could have conceivably been a likely individual to exhibit
such a tendency.

| But seriously (yes I'm aware that seriousness is not a valued cultural
trait here) Halloween is celebrated here and small children trick or
treat. However we don't quite get into it as much as our nieghbours to
the south, a few people decorate for halloween maybe a week before but
it's nothing like the utter halloween madness that seems to grasp the
US for the entire month of October. It's interesting at this time of
year to drive through Niagara Falls on both sides of the border.

>we don't quite get into it as much as our nieghbours to the south.
If you're referring to Hell Night "the night before Halloween", then
I guess you're right. Hell Night, as far as I've been told, is when
people set fire to people's houses, cars, etc..., and throw appliances
off the top of buildings (especially in Cambden NJ)

Red Stanfields, Ultramar tuque, and a bottle of caribou.

| you forgot the footwear... Greb Kodiaks
I one went to classes at Waterloo in pretty much that outfit. I had
lost a bet and had to come to class in my underwear, thank god for
those Stanfields....
