That's where they wanted me to move -- Ottawa. The other thing Ottawa
has going for it is that the lakes and ponds freeze up solid enough to
drive trucks on.
Wait a minute ... is that a feature or a bug?
its a freeture
. . . or a bugger.
Actually, I was willing to transfer to Canada at the time, even given
the hassles of not being a "real Canadian". But the two offices were in
Ottawa and Calgary, both extremely cold in the winter. Of the two I
would have preferred Calgary, but I ended up transferring where I
*really* wanted to be -- World HQ in Oregon -- a year later.
And any time I *want* to get that cold, I can always visit a meat
locker. So I have had to settle for being an Honourary Canadian, and a
member of Canadians for Global Warming.

Ahh... the drop bears. Like I mentioned somewhere previously, the work I

You may, however, find a reference in an add for Bunduberg Rum.

Ah ... OK ... I was hoping for pictures of the fridge magnets. I don't
suppose they have drop bears on them.
"The refrigerators of Australia are on the front line against extremists.."
After reading these links, I think it's a very good idea to "look out for Australia".
But seriously. We Americans should not laugh. Our poor troops over in Iraq are so ill-equipped they have to use post-it notes to protect their refrigerators. Thankyew, yew been great...
