Im ready to roll the clocks back.

Where in Canada do you live Mooron?

Good Grief Joe.... I thought I made that clear on many occasions....
currently in Nova Scotia, Halifax ... near Peggy's Cove. In a seaside
community called Bayside... on Shad Bay.
Prior to that I was in the Northwest Territories for over 20 years.
NovaScotia is the province I grew up in though. Google the areas to
enlighten yourself to some of the most beautiful spots in Canada!

I've hitch-hiked through Texas with a cute blonde girl years ago.. despite
all the warnings to not do that. We had a wonderful time there... everybody
we met looked after us and the hospitality was excellent. Only one attempted
mugging in Houston... but the poor sod didn't think he could pull the gun
out from his belt faster than I could unsheathe the machete from my
girlfriend's knapsack. It was a stalemate.... so I offered to buy him a
coffee.. but he saw a cop crossing the street and took off.

When we were in San Diego prior to Texas we wandered into a portion of town
where I guess we shouldn't have been in ... we didn't realize it. When
confronted by a group of Hispanics and blacks, they asked us if we had
noticed anything different about the area.. We both said yes.. you folks are
way more friendly! They pointed out the colour of the people... we said we
were from Canada and hadn't noticed that. They all laughed and we talked..
told them we were looking for a movie theatre. They escorted us to the movie
theatre and when we left after the show... they had a guy come down to
escort us out of the area. Nice Folks!
