Hi Ray,

Can't do the bachelor thing, have three wonder girls aged 4 months to 6 years... This is why she wants the new house, oldest just starting school and would like to settle her into the one where we purchased our land.

Plus I like the winter time, I actually travel to Quebec quite often to ride my snowmobile.

Zero heating bills in the gulf, but I bet my cooling bills are cheaper... <VBG>

Raymond, you may find this thread of interest, its central theme is the current protectionist threat against our lumber - Subject 51596

The example to which you are replying can hardly be used as evidence of subsidy, if the logs are being bought out of province for processing and reshipment ...... you'll have a real hard time finding any evidence of the subsidies this timber baron group claims, they do a strong propaganda campaign with lots of apple and orange comparisons and twisted 'statistics', and clearly they have had some influence over the bushistani 'commerce' department, but you get to the core of it, you'll find it's just gangster bullying, like so much else in politics

John - timber is a fine business, and it pays off in more than just money, it's a great life ... a game for the patient of course ... but it will teach you patience, if you're ready .... there's a magasine i used to subscribe to, called 'American Forester', organisation that puts it out has a quality philosophy imho ... it is sad it makes me that quite likely some of their members have swallowed the timber baron BS and support the attack against my province
