I haven't actually been gone that long - family, friends and visits :-) Until I was 30 all the rednecks I ever met were Canadian ones.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'm just growing less tolerant of people not understanding that which needs to be learned soon.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-11085968857799175382008-03-31T08:19:00.000-07:002008-03-31T08:19:00.000-07:00susan - in many ways, canada is just a less nervy ...susan - in many ways, canada is just a less nervy version of the US in that area, but i haven't given up hope. <BR/><BR/>gary - the photo was taken at roughly 1 a.m. after spending the evening with my friends' elderly neighbor, checking out a neighborhood celtic jam and a pub with a rather good band and excellent guacamole and guiness. then she had to show me her town on the way home. the museum was on the tour. no, she didn't sample the guiness... that was my job. <BR/><BR/>lindsay - i'm a museum nut too. we did go back during hours of operation and check out the inside, which is no less stunning than the exterior.gfidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452490194253665370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-85854174906116670672008-03-30T17:04:00.000-07:002008-03-30T17:04:00.000-07:00Wonderful photo.

When I think of the potential for good the US had and how sadly it's fallen into technocratic, economic balkanization rather than efforts toward universal uplift, I could weep.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.com
