fringe dude,
Like most others here I'm humbled and impressed with your postings.
More to it though, I'm proud of you dude.
You're a Canuck living within a 100 clicks of my own house. (BTW when my kids are grown, we'll probably be moving closer to where you are located, beautiful country man)
I'm originally from Montreal, lived in T.O. since '84, speak both french and english.
There is no doubt that Americans and Canadians are first cousins.
We are all North Americans!
But am still proud when I see one of my own, held in high esteem, on a North American basis.
Good on ya dude, maybe we'll have lunch some time or something.
