I'm in MI...can I be an honorary Canadian since we touch you guys? Big grin

When I was 10 (1983) we did a 3 week road trip through Eastern CAN and the US with 5 of us in a diesel VW Rabbit...vinyl seats, no A/C, but a crank sunroof. You guys had a freak heatwave. Some fond memories. We spent July 1 in Sarnia and watched their fireworks. We were close enough to get hit by shrapnel. It was way cool! Big grin

My funniest memory from the trip...stopping at a gas station and the TP dispenser in the bathroom said "Whiz Wipes." That still makes me chuckle. Smile

Be careful with that, K. They've get sexual harassment laws in Canada too.
Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men: courage, and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace, and the vices of peace are the vices of old men: mistrust and caution.

But it's a *good* touching. Evil grin

Hey, and isn't Toronto topless...or some other city up there? They seem a bit more liberal than those of us "south of the border." Blush

Yep, the girls got their way and received equal rights but unfortunately after that first summer 4 or 5 years ago the novelty seems to have worn off and there are no more topless women to be seen strolling the parks and beaches Sad

Well, 'cause it's too stinkin' cold most of the time, and the rest of the time those "girls" probably burn pretty easily. My girls have never seen the light of day and I'd imagine that an area that has never seen sunlight would get sunburned VERY easily, especially on someone of Nordic origins... Blush
