Wow, those are some seriously impressive visuals! TFPU.
I sure wish we had Kate down here.
She sure is something. Seems to get more mesmerizing - at least to me personally - with each passing day. Lucky William. I can only imagine their delights. Charmed lives, indeed.
Happy Canada Day.

So what's everyone doing for the coming rainy long weekend? Most of us Canuckleheads get Saturday, Sunday and Monday off, as July 1st is on Sunday.
This year, in typically Canadian fashion, we're puzzling as to how to celebrate the bicentenary of our victory in the war of 1812, without perturbing the neighbours. They can be a little excitable. It's even on the front page of the Canadian government website - http://1812.gc.ca/eng/1305654894724/1305655293741

Warm & dry down here in your lost province of Idontno.
Come down for the party. I can even direct you to an unoccupied, but reserved campsite at City of Rocks!
Bring beer, eh?

I love these threads. It gives me the opportunity to remind Le Canadiens that:
(1) 97.105% of Candians care about whether US respects, or even recognizes, its neighbor to the north
(2) 0.16% of Americans care about what Canadians think about the US
who denies either proposition? No one.

Minnesota is one of the more Canadian parts of the US, anyway. Hell, half of my distant cousins live there.

don't get me wrong, I LIKE Canada
(when I can be reminded that it's our neighbor that's not Mexico_
but by liking Canaduh I'm in the minority. 39 of 40 Americans think the land mass north of the U.S. is "Polar Bear Country" and "Arctic Wasteland" and "Eskimo Town", they have no idea that a vibrant, progressive culture exists above the 45th parallel

Hmmmm. I can't celebrate Canada Day publicly or they might deport me back to the great white north. But this year we'll be celebrating the 4th of July by going to Canada.

The Hoser Towers, eh.
It's not a question, eh.
So stop using question marks after your eh, eh?
Loose American translation of the Canadian and Northern Minnesotan and U.P. residents comment "eh" would seem to mean "OK."
Bumper sticker seen in Camp 4, 1987: "See ya to da U.P., eh?"
Fookin' Eh.
Niagara Falls is part Canadian, just thought to remind everyone.
My thoughts turn to my Canadian-born ex and I crave an Old Fernie.

Finally, it's here, eh! A tip o' the hat to Canadian Ryder Hesjedal, who is busy with some obscure bike race in France this month. Maybe this is his year!
First time in five summers of so we won't be in central BC this summer. Going to miss it!

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Happy Canada Day All! And happy 32nd (or 132nd!) for the anthem!
