I think I finally got an ID on my Grandfathers Boat. Ever heard of a
Waymouth?. An older fishing charter Captain down the Lake from me
ID'd
it. Dont know if it's positive, but he swears that's what it is.
Gonna do a google on it, and see if I get a hit.


Can't say I have.
Is it spelled Waymouth or Weymouth? S.
The Brits have a bad habit of misspelling many words.

I happen to know that you also have a Weymouth in MA. (we have one
here in NS of course).
A future professional hockey player named Bobby Sheehan, who was in my
grade 12 class when he played his junior hockey here, came from there.

As a matter of fact, I believe our village got it's name from the
Loyalists who left Mass in the mid 1700s when the ungrateful rabble was
acting up..

My gawd. You sure do know your geography.
And when it came time to fight for what's right, the pansies ran north.


What's the matter...?
You still sore from your navy days when someone sabotaged you by putting
sand in your Vasoline?


You sure have some oblique "penpals." Is SepticTank FloridaJim referring
to U.S. males who headed north during the war against Vietnam so they
wouldn't have to bomb or shoot women, children and villages in order to
protect Topeka, Kansas, from an invasion by the Viet Cong?


I think he's buried way back further in the past......to the United Empire
Loyalists who remained loyal to the King.
Most gave up all they had to re-settle up here. My maternal grandmothers'
family came up from New York after the revolution.
We probably have a legtimate claim to a tiny piece of Harlem....

Ahh. Perhaps you can outline for us how Canada and Canadians have
suffered the last 100 years or so by maintaining ties to England.

At one time the preferred trading status with the Commonwealth including
Great Britain meant a lot.
At this point... the questionable spending to maintain the Governor General
in Ottawa and the provincial Lt. Governors expenses as the Queens
representatives might bother a few citizens.

It's was vomit inducing to hear the former administration use the
"finish the job" excuse in order to honor those who "paid the ultimate
price."

Finishing the job in this case would be to uphold the law so that
others don't have to pay the ultimate price for lawbreaking liars.



I am very thankful that I never had to rely on you to watch my back.
That's not an insult. It's reality. You are better off doing whatever it
is you do and having the right to think whatever you think and so am I.

I can remember getting excited about that as a kid.
We lived one city block from the Lt Governers House and the motorcade was
always coming or going during Royal visits.
You have a 'Queen' of your own down there in Connecticut............ be it a
short, ponytailed version.

The point was that it was a ****ty excuse to stay in Iraq. It was a
doomed escapade from the start. Bush 1 knew it and stayed out.

I'm extremely loyal and, had I been in Iraq watching anyone's back,
I'd have given the full measure of my life.

I'm damned glad that I'm not in that situation and very sorry for
those who are.

Now I want to see justice done. Those that lied us into this
catastrophe should be willing to face the full measure of what it
means to be nation of laws. It was among the things that Bush
promised us when he campaigned for the presidency.

I have a Family Tree tracing my Ancestors back to the 1600's. They
left Virginia when the rabble started acting up. They were one of the
first 20 Familys to settle the Niagara Region. Fought with Brock
against the Americans in the Battle of Queenston Heights.And a direct
relation of mine was the Lady who informed the Brits of the impending
attack by the Americans...... Any guess on who that is? If you know
Canadian History, you'll know who I'm referring to.

Hillary Clinton's great grandmother?
