I saw the Downchild Blues Band last night! Not boring at all!!!

A few rambling observations.

Canada and the US have a very complex relationship. Canadian React to every twitch the US makes. Americans barely notice Canada. Down here In the deep south pretty much everyone perceives the realtionship to be a good one. I seldom agree with GWB but I think he was on the money when he said were were like family. One doesn't always agree with one's siblings put they are the ones who understand you and who WILL be there when the chips are down.

In Newfoundland England is the mother and USA is the wild brother. growing up, we sang "God Save the Queen" in school. There were US bases from which the "yankees" very friendly and generous, would visit our communities support our economy and marry our women. families have spats, we have had spats with the USA. Canada does have a different neational personality than the US does but to me, the people here in Georgia are more similar to Newfoundlanders than Ontarians are.
