speak for yourself Mbo, I don't go off like a firecracker.....much.

Metchosin is the name municipality where I live. The native people of this area called it, Smets-Shosin, after a dead whale washed ashore and it means "place of the smelly fish or stinking whale". "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet".........except in Metchosin.
