I like maple wood. I like maple seeds in the spring. Maple trees are great. Did I mention that I like maple syrup? Do you like beavers also? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqOI7KejIng While doing my laundry today at the laundromat (using my bike + Leggero Max[tm] trailer of course) I popped into the Garlane Pharmacy at the corner of King Edward & Main. There I obtained a nice hackeysack bead bag. It's red & white, with the word: "Canada" emblazoned across it, along with a stylized red maple leaf. At least I think it's a maple leaf, although it looks more like a distorted, red bat or a pterosaur. I'm gonna take it to work, to keep the temps limber during coffee and lunch breaks. One can derive a lot of exercise just from bending over to pick the damn'd thing up. Nuthin' like a Canadian symbol to kick around. I like chesting hackeysack bags. There's a certain woman at work to whom I'd like to teach the technique. She could achieve all kinds of vectors. She's perfectly welcome to hackey in if she so desires. But if she'd prefer to avoid a bunch of testosterone-soaked, labour-weary male idiots kicking a bagful of beads around with heavy steel-toed boots, that's understandable. I ~am~ Canadian, after all. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

(We can only get FdM, Maudit, and Blance du Chambly locally. :0( ) It's a matter of taste. Fin du Monde is another fave, and I'll gladly drink Maudite. I'm also keen on Trois Pistoles, which is a dark beer in the Guinness mode, only at 10% alcohol. I also have a bottle of Unibroue 17 in my back room, waiting for an appropriate occasion to open it. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls."

Certain local vintners might take offense at that. I will only say that while I am happy to drink wine, I find that the beer that fits into my drinking budget is tastier than the wine that fits into my drinking budget. In short, you can pretty much drink the finest beer on the planet for about $3/glass. Wine from Canadian latitudes would have to be *very dry*. The most famous Canadian product is icewine: it's an extremely sweet dessert wine. Also, the Okanagan wine region experiences near-desert summer conditions. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls."
