Cybre net sounds Canyuckian to me.

I just came off one of those camping days. One of those days I am not about to share with my wife . I upset myself enough and certainly know better than to upset her as well. I went climbing into a spot I had no right to be.The short version is we got so high that it was no longer safe to go down so we went up. I was quite prepared to spend the next couple of days looking for a safer way out once we got to the top.Although I have never climbed this mountain before I had checked it out from other mountains over the years and had a rough idea what the terrain would look like.
I new I was in trouble when one of my freinds announced that this was the worst position that he had ever been in.This guy is part mountain goat.
Any way the ruite back was a snap and I now have a nice day hike to add to my list of places to wander.

I hope you have a wonderful summer as well.

take care

I didn't think Canada was significant enough to have its own day.

There is Dominion day coming up though. You should drink maple flavoured beer, in a beaver fur-lined mug to really get in the spirit of it. In la belle province they prefer to drink brandy out of lady-slippers (the cheap fleur de lys) and celebrate on Bastille de Baptiste week.

People out wandering around thinking about this collection of provinces should be reminded that fishermen from Bristol found Canada in the late 1400's or probably about 1505, and Newfoundland was the first permanent colony or perennially visited outpost in this region. This makes Portugese amongst the first Canadian languages.

The Danes have some claim amongst the Europeans to be the first to sell condominiums on the Canada coast.
