Just got to the north country tonight (after a lovely 2-day drive across the "fruited plains").

I guess I won't be doing any shopping at Rainy River this year. I used to really like the big liquor store over there.

Darn shame.

I'm sure Canvasback is right, Americans can be serious blockheads (no doubt!) but this trouble with our northern neighbor is disheartening for me. I'm sure there's alot about it I don't know (I actually work at not knowing too-much these days) but... I hate how this has become so-ugly so-fast. Maybe it was inevitable with the way our respective governments have evolved but it makes me rather sad to think about it all.

I sure hope it doesn't get any worse.
