BH> I have been to Quebec before.  If you are from the states you better be
 BH> able to speak French and Read French.  They don't like being invaded by
 BH> english speaking people.  A lot of the signs are in French.  I have been

I thought you spoke English overthere.  :-)
But it's the same here. If you go to France you have to speek French. Not many
Frenchmen speek English. Not in Belgium and Holland either.

 BH> all over Canada in a Semi Truck but never west of Ontario.  Have drove
 BH> alot of the QEW highway.  Never far far north.  That would be neat.  The
 BH> thing I learned about up there is that is where the Deer signs turn to
 BH> Moose Signs.  Also becareful of teh ATM's.  I forgot about that and

Here I can have moose in my garden.
What is ATM?

 BH> withdrawled a whole lot of money.
 BH> You have to darn near spend it  all before you get to far south back in
 BH> states.

Don't they have CDN in Canada?

 BH> Anyway..  As a trucker I hauled a printing press to Ontario for printing
 BH> money.  They had a contract to print money for Russia.  When they became a
 BH> democracy.  I have also hauled alot of snow mobiles through Canada and
 BH> backdown into New Hampshire and Vermont and Into the farthest North East
 BH> Corner of Maine.  State Rt 2 is awsome on the UP of Michigan.  The radio
 BH> skip is is awsome off of the big lakes.

Radio skip? Do you mean when you can talk over very long distances? Do you still
have CB on 27 or 29 MHz? That we have given up years ago. The skip here when
the Italians came in with a 10 on the S-meter made it impossible to use and now
everyone have a mobile phone.
I once, many many years back, spoke with a guy in San Diego on 27 MHz.
And I hear that you are as crazy as we are here.
A Swedish trucker goes to England to pick up pizza and drive it to Italy. Funny eh?
And now a German store-chain called Lidl is opening here in Sweden and they shall
sell milk from Germany, and when the Swedish soccer team was in Italy last time the
had to send a truck back to Sweden to get some pizza. It's a funny world we live in.

 BH> Alaska Threatens Texas - One day the Alaskans got so tired of hearing
 BH> Texas brag about how big Texas is that they threatened to split Alaska in
 BH> half and make Texas the "third" largest state.
