    I can see the Olympic Peninsula everyday! But I'd rather stay in Victoria.

    And Canada is a western democracy ...also heading toward bankruptcy. I agree with you!

    Bingo to Marmite.
    Check US Tresury bond and T-note ownership. I loved the hypothetical rendering by a guy who theorised on what would happen if Tokyo was devastated by an earthquake and the Japanese repatriated all their US investments to rebuild. hahahaha Byebye US fiscal funding.

    Milkman, I envy you to the max. I've been many places, but the OP just feels like home. It is SO beautiful and rugged and wild. I live in a Vanc suburb, but hoping to move to an island in the Inland Passage somewhere that the dentists haven't invaded already.

    You got a nice view, Hootie? I hate you, too. My view is nada at the mo.
