BTW, Great Day on the Bay

Forgot to mention... in today's local paper a small article on Conde Nast
Traveler magazine naming Cape Breton Island as the second best island in
North America...after Vancouver Island.
Take that NOYB!



I'm not sure what "Tak that NOYB" means, but I suppose you mean to rub my
face in the fact that Florida didn't have an island that was rated the "most
beautiful island in the World". Is that it?


I've been to a lot of islands that are more beautiful than any island found
in Florida (Aruba, Whidbey Island, WA; the Hawaiian islands; etc). I could
have chosen to open a practice and live near any of 'em. But it was the
combination of 300 sunny days per year, the warm sub-tropical climate, and
the beautiful sandy beaches and islands that drew me to Florida. Also, I
wanted to be able to boat 356 days each year.

When my brother lived in Seattle, I always commented that if I could move
Seattle's beauty to Arizona's climate, then that'd be the place that I live.
Since that place doesn't exist, Florida provided a happy medium.

That's about it.
I believe you 'trash talked' Canada a couple of times in here. Just thought
I'd open your mind a bit.

With Snowbird season fast approaching, you're either very brave or very
foolish.
I can see your National Enquirer headline...
Antagonistic Backwater Dentist Gummed to Death by Irate Seniors.

Everyone of the Canadians that I have as patients are very nice people.
Everyone of the Canadians that come down here during the winter months for
prolonged stays are also very nice people. The ones that stay up in Canada,
bitch about the arrogance of Americans, didn't support us in Iraq, and
recently voted to legalize marijuana and same-sex marriages, are the ones
that *need* "bagging on". Are you a snowbird, Don...or are you one of the
anti-American blow-hards?

So you read the National Enquirer, eh? Figures.

Glad you cleared that up.
Seems that you have a problem with about 200 people...not the 30 million I
originally thought.
No one asked me to vote on marijuana, same-sex marriages etc.
Only 301 Canadians in our Parliament had that right, and after you subtract
those who voted against the bills.....
only a small number fall under your 'bagging on' category.
As far as being an anti-American blow-hard...hardly.
This part of the country has always had a close connection to the 'Boston
States'. Many Maritimers left here for better opportunities across the
border. We always remember the help Massachusetts sent our way in our
darkest hour.

There has been a pretty strong anti-American sentiment floating down from
Canada through the news outlets. Of course, the media is never biased in
their reporting, now, are they? ;-)

Don,

Aren't you relieved to have a choice?

Either come down to Florida and patronize NYOB's practice, or be
anti-American liberal blow-hard.

In light of recent events on US foreign policy, I guess for me it would
down to his rates ;^)

Read my post again, Bobdee. People who travel to the US for leisure are
usually not the same as the idiots that sit up in Canada and just keep
sniping at America. Whether they "patronize my practice" or not, is
irrelevent.
