Oh, for sure, Amos. I am well aware of my good fortune in that I am located in Canada. Another neat thing about being here is that I can buy the new plastic model kits when they come out (a hobby I'm into in a big way), and there are all kinds of marvelous guitars available.

As for Jean Chretien, well, I am glad he's kept Canada out of the fighting, so I am feeling more kindly than usual toward Jean. He's walking that fine line right now...tricky business, that is, considering the economic harm the USA can do us whenever they wish to.
