Wingnut, Well, see you Canadians need a river you can swim, or wade across./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I'm not sure how it helps, but it seems to work down here/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

as my "yeller rose" would say ... thank all y'all fer the kind wishes!

SHF ... as a fellow Michigander (or is it Michiganian ... seems to depend on which news program I wacth) ... I have bad news for you. The mail delivery here costs less and produces more than most other countries! Defineitly a world better than Canada. Unless it's a check (cheque for the Canadians) going to Maryland ... it seems to take several days to get mail anywhere in the US ... while I always had to allow a week to get to the city (45 miles away) or 2 weeks to get anywhere in Canada. Even now, if I'm sending mail back to Alberta ... I allow 2 weeks ... 'cause it will get to the Canadian mail system in Winnipeg in 2 days and then ..... can you say "black hole"
Oh ... and I get DELIVERY here to my place outside of town. Heck ... in Canada, delivery (if available) is 5 days a week ... oops .. subtract the 2,866 federal holidays that the posties get ... and there's no delivery in the country ... or even in new parts of the towns and cities. They put up "superboxes" and deliver there and you go and pick up. Tremendous savings to the government in gasoline!
Opps ... stanting to sound like a "yank", huh Kevin?

too bad that common sense ain't

Peter,

Alas, it looks like we have "lost you" to the Stars & Stripes! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Once that Green card arrives and you start singing the praises of the American mail system....there's no turning back! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Congratulations. I am also a U.S. Citizen even though I have never been away from the Republic of Texas very often at all.

heck Kevin ... I fell in love with the US postal service the first day was here .... and UPS and FEDEX deliver to my house!!! In the country!!! Wow!!!
But ... after all the talk about taxes ... and the newspaper reports here about eminent domain seizures ... I'm sure that once I retire and have to survive on a pension ... lower land costs, lower taxes, lower drug prices (no, the legal ones, guys!) and lower food costs ... oh and insurance, license plates, drivers license fees and ... well just about anything that costs money ... will bring me rushing back to Canada. Which is why ... while I'm working on my US citizenship ... we're still working on my wife's Canadian citizenship.
heh heh heh
In the meantime ... although I was a little tongue-in-cheek above ... my salary manages to outweigh my essentials costs ... and besides ... there's nothing like the Michigan Militia in Alberta ... bwahahahahaha.
Sorry ... I'll calm down. Let me know when they elect a sane government in Ottawa that'll see reason on gun laws, please.

too bad that common sense ain't
