Welcome, eh?

Or 'allo

anhaga's the dude who'll put you on the roll

He's never offline very long

Off to do the paperwork.

There we go!

Let me know, M. Waters, if you'd like something less general than 'Quebec'.

My username is robotic_hamster and I'm from a pointlessly dull town in Ontario.

You're in, and welcome!


It's been a little quiet around here lately on the specifically Canadian front.

Would you like to include a particularly pointlessly dull town in Ontario?

Would it be Cornwall?
I go there every year for Christmas. And it's a pointless dull town in Ontario...

Please sign me up as always the polite canuk thankyou and oh I'm sorry!

You're in!

would you like a more specific location than 'the wild woods of Ontario'?

L'Amable just south of Bancroft, the back of beyond, and yes the black fly season will be here in aprox. six to eight weeks, if we give the little ******* snow shovels!

Oh, look at that http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=L%27Amable,+ON,+Canada&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title

It really is kind of off the beaten track.

Updated.

Yes for a Toronto human, it is a tadd remote. By the way unless one is born here we are always from Away, tribalisum (sp)has no geoghraphical bounderies.

well, I'm not a Toronto human. I spent a number of happy childhood years just up the road from you, in Sudbury.

Sudbury, I flew over it in the early 1970's moonscape was my first impression. Drove through last summer and it was recovering but golly gosh that land was in politicaly correct speak taken advantage of. I would have like to have seen this country before it was humanized. BY the way I spell badly and don't like always checking with the dictionary(brain paterning-never sure of the order of the letters)

my feeling about Sudbury is that it's a nice place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit. My memories are of walking through the woods to school, walking through woods to play and being constantly within ten feet of a lake.

All visitors seem to have memories of are slagheaps and black rock.



When I look back at my neighborhood on google earth, one of the forests I played in is a parking lot now, but everything else looks remarkably as it did more than thirty years ago.

That's not off the beaten track, mate.

_This_ is off the beaten track: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Hedley,+BC,+Canada&ie=UTF8&ll=49.349954,-120.097218&spn=0.081969,0.170975&t=h&z=13

OK Let us not get into a who lives as in the backest of beyondnesses match or we will get someone from Santa Land. Please be kind to us humans that ma bell only allows dail up service to. On the bright side I have moved out of the carboard box and I do have my road plowed and maybe six cars per day plus the school bus(probably why I get the road plowed)I did notice the loggers might have been there too. Is there anywhere they don't go?

Just kidding. I'm actually within sight of the Crowsnest aka hwy 3. It's in the country, but nothing like the truly remote wilderness in which I lived when I were a lad.

We had a real log cabin, with a wood stove for heat, a hand pump for water that sometimes froze in winter, and no electricity.

Kerosene lamps and candles..

No telephone

I'd like to be signed up, please
I live in a small fishing village off Vancouver Island and when you are thinking small...I'm pretty sure you aren't thinking small enough.

Hey GG! I grew up in Maple Bay and spent my youth sailing the Gulf Islands and my sister lives on Denman! Nice to have you around.

Thanks zoomer
I live on Stuart Island, which is kind of on the outskirts of the Gulf Islands past Quadra and Cortes. I spend a lot of time in Courtenay/Campbell River though, keeps me from becoming a hermit.
