morbid

Not bland at all; rather, tasteful and restrained. Now that's a sled I'd have.

covet (thou shalt not)

Venus

I don't get it....please translate.

Doesn't do it for me...but if it does for you, that's what's important.

Uranus

Boulder

Grand Canyon

BACK TO THE THREAD: Happiness is... ....living for the moment (something I don't do well at all; I live in the yesterday mode and in the future mode)

wine

The C&G name is now visible and those extended tire tracks add the sensation of motion. Great job.

braces (as in corn on the cob + braces = bad news)

butter

Madeleine Albright

Very, very nice! See if you can upsize or bold-up your C&G name just a tad and have just a little more field space under the front tires. Otherwise, nicely put together as I think about my upcoming vacation in Quebec and fall colors.BTW, in what state/area was that taken?

You have WAY too much time on your hands!

Damn it, TYD, now you're going to make me comb the Newfoundland map to look for this town.

Yeah, well, their rendition of the French language may not be as elegant, but good gawd, they actually LIKE Americans (more so than Canadians from the Anglophone provinces) whereas there will be a "mixed bag" reaction in the authentic Frogland...though I did have a French lady walk up to me outside of the gates at Versailles seeing that I had a tourist map, asking me if I needed assistance. UNBELIEVABLE. when I spoke French to her, she became even nicer!

Go back again. You'll appreciate it and have a blast. The nightlife is great, if you're into that. I'm not. I don't think there's a "real" Canada. Exactly like the US, the East of Canada is more densely populated, older (in terms of construction) and more culturally savvy. The West of Canada has large unpopulated expanses, like the US, and the cultural meccas are few (in their case, Vancouver and Calgary and Edmonton) whereas we have LA, SF, Seattle and Denver. So, is any part of the US more "real" than another...probably not. If I had to live in Canada it would be the Eastern provinces despite the fact that the Western provinces are more scenic. I recommend Montreal highly to everyone.

I'll call our departed friend "JT" for Jiggly Tits...she will be right up there with Nick's "Silkey"...the funniest on this board EVER.

My response: time WMJ: What happened to jiggly tits? While you might like looking at her (and maybe more), would you bring her home to your parents to put on THAT show?

about the leaves about Travelodge, I've stayed there 2x, for the money, the location is great but the digs aren't; however, it has a great breakfast. When I stayed there in 2003, the day person was a Chinese chick, the afternoon person was Argentinian and the graveyard person was Moroccan....all of them a riot. And the breakfast room had both an Italian and a Brazilian guy working there, I spoke with those guys every morning. I will not be staying there this time...I plan to spend a little more for more upscale digs. Travelodge on Blvd. Rene Levesque...6 degrees of separation, I swear...LOL.
