Don't mess with Canada or we'll come over and burn the White House down

Dear Ralph,

Promises, promises!

It was a gracious gesture and deeply appreciated, but you let
Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court escape unharmed.

I don't recall Canadians ever thanking the U.S. for our earlier
gesture of goodwill when we burned the Parliament buildings in York.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

No worries. Canuckistan bans possession of firearms.
Cross the border into a cross-fire.

Oh, geez... that's a whole 'nother arguement. As a point of fact, us
Washorgonians help support you sorry webfoots since we pay income tax
one way or another. I work in Portland (as does my wife) so I end up
paying for services I don't receive.

OTOH, it's a great downhill going into Portland on the I-205 bridge. I
did that today- across the I-205, along Marine Drive, back into
beautiful Washington on the I-5 bridge. A great little ride with the
little woman.

Vancouver BC might have great Indian food, but do they have Almdudler
Krauterlimonade? You can get this (and more) at Moxie's on Main:

That's an actual product! A web link suggests, " If you've tried
Almdudler Krauterlimonade before and you really liked it, we recommend
giving Pangle Heimers Sparkling Gourmet Blush a try."

Ralph I wonder if any of these USAsians know that we won the World Juniors

Watch out, Andrew's connected to the dairy mafia - why else would he use
a Holstein-Friesian in his logo?

Please also note the term 'moxie' comes from a root-beer-like carbonated
drink of that (tm) name; they are still extant and will sell you a case
of liquid Americana in attractive orange cans. We found Moxie seeking
the etymology of 'moxie' in pre-internet days:

That pig was the best thing that ever happened to me: without the pig,
Point Roberts would have been Canadian territory, and this place
wouldn't exist:

If I ever end up throwing tea in a harbor, it will likely have something
