Why not, You can see Canada from Alaska. ;-)
In fact you pretty much have to go through Canada to get to Juneau.

Say it ain't so.....

It shows that Donald Trump thinks highly of Canada.

On the other hand, maybe a couple years in Ottawa will take the rough edges off her...refine her and make her more presentable for her duties.
If it works, maybe you can send Trump up for a bit and we'll start on him.

Say it ain't so.....

What would be funnier on the international scene than Sarah Palin
practicing diplomacy? Not much.

She makes more sense than you do. I wonder where you get the
cockamamy ideas you come up with.



If you think Palin makes sense, you need to drop your bitty brain off at
the shop for rewiring.

I imagine she gets along well with the folks in the wilderness areas
of the west. Maybe not so much in Toronto or the French part tho.

8 years in DC didn't change her much.

Most of Canada does not speak French.
My IBM Toronto friend says "The US got the blacks (not his word) and
we got the French.
You people always get the first choice". He was also quick to point
out all Canadians do not say "Ay", even though it slipped out a few
times from him too. It does seem to be an Ontario thing tho. The folks
we know from the west don't say Ay.


The folks in the west say crook and idiot when referring to Ontario.

Say it ain't so.....

And well he should. Were it not for Canada you couldn't tow your
rv to Alaska.Would be nice , though, if you were allowed to arm
yourself and protect your family from those highway robbers
along the way.

Hadn't heard about those guys. I'd like to try the trip sometime, but I'd either have to move or
install a sprinkler system for the yard. I think I may be getting my wife into the moving frame of
mind next year. We'll see.

Trust me, sprinkler systems are much cheaper than moving and a lot
less hassle.

There is a machine that cuts a slit, lays the pipe in and covers it
all in one pass. That makes the pipe part easy. It might not work up
there if you have the same "bank run gravel" type soil we had on the
PG side of the river tho.
How do you keep it from freezing?

I have air fittings in the valve supply lines. In the fall I turn off
the water supply, hook up an air compressor, and let the sprinkler
system controller cycle compressed air through each zone for a few
minutes each.

Say it ain't so.....

Here, no freeze problem. But we lay out the system on top of the ground
first, to see if it actually does the job. Before doing that, seemed to be
missed areas.

Has to be drained. Maybe air forced through the lines. No gravel, just dirt with a high clay
content.

Say it ain't so.....

Not where we are now. Only have 4 zones with 4-5 sprinklers per zone.
My small, 3 gal, 1 hp air compressor works just fine. Let it build up
to max pressure and manually open the zone valve at the controller.
Usually do it twice per zone and all that is coming out is air.

The house we moved from last year was a different story. Sprinklers
were on a well and there were many zones, sprinklers and much larger
diameter water lines to the sprinkler heads. Used to have a landscaper
come over with a large, diesel powered compressor on a trailer to blow
all those lines out.
