Actually, many Canadians -- even non-musical ones -- pay their dues at Blind River. The police there have nothing to do after 2 am except hide behind the speed limit sign on the TransCanada and give out hefty fines to bleary-eyed travellers, all caffeined-up from the long-awaited pit stop at the famous Blind River Tim Horton's, who think they're out of town already because they haven't seen a streetlight for a couple miles. It's a plot, I tellya! The last time I got caught in Blind River in the wee hours, it cost me about $3OO.

ANd that's BEFORE I got side-swiped by a moose!

PS -- to get a skank out from under the porch, try this. Pick up a CD by Slipknot, Slayer or Rage Against the Machine. Slide your speakers underneath the steps in a spot where they can't get smashed from underneath by a sound-crazed skank, then set your player for a song like "People = S***" or "F*** This World". Crank up the volume to FULL - don't be shy! Then stand WAY back and clear the runway! Any Skank whose ears function is guaranteed to vacate the premises PRONTO!
