YIPPEEE! Wifey just called! GREAT NEWS!!!
Her work permit for Canada is going to be approved, and her job offer is secure!!!! I'm still working on mine, but hers, the Septic, well, and power on, all that remains is the phone and the wind generators.

MY KIDS CAN AFFORD COLLEGE, I WON'T GO BANKRUPT VIA MORTGAGE, AND OUR RETIREMENT AND HEALTHCARE ARE ASSSURED!

I weep for joy!

7. Was a "Summer Canuck" until age 15.
Usually spent almost the whole summer there. This is the dream of a lifetime come true.

15. Ontario, Huron County.
.5 km from the lake! We can HEAR it if it's not dead calm. 30+ trees on our 2 acres with a stream running through it.

6. "I'm with Stupid" with the arrow pointing up!
Don't mind me, Trog. I'm so happy right now I don't know whether to deficate or re-impower the timepiece fastened to my wrist!

18. does the ursine mammal deficate in the sylvan glade?
It appears the fecal matter stands an excellent chance of horizontal impact upon the moving blades of the rotary air motion transformer.

Now proceed away from this location and micturate vertically over the topography of a strand of braided jute, hemp, or other fibre.

20. Now, THOSE I've heard.
And excuse me, but you don't know fecal matter from a no-longer-manufactured shoe polish product. :P

11. That is a foregone conclusion.
I ain't disappearing. I've got a 700+ Google hit to protect!

Lots of room up there for the tents, RV's, and the cottage will hold at least 10-12.

10. Start singing .....
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.

21. Actually, an excellent question.
You know, I think I'm fed up with countries, period.

I just watched a pop machine that uses electronics and robotics dispense a lousy bottle of coke.

Damn thing must cost $10 thou if it costs a nickle, and we have FIVE of them in this plant.

$50,000. That's 658 fresh water wells in the horn of Africa, so that 658 villages can end a major cause of infant dissentery, or over 200 children with HIV given generic drugs to keep them alive for an entire year.....

gets ugly. I really think this has become a terminally screwed up country, sorry to say.

I'm pleased for you, and sad that I'll still be here (in the belly of The Beast -- DC -- of all places).
