This is deja vu all over again. I think I welcomed you once, Alcan. Oh well, welcome again.

Do you have written proof of that? Signed and co-signed by two independent witnesses? He's a lawyer you know

Ain't that the truth... LOL... if the high winds on the skyway don't blow you into the harbour, the smell will get you.

But I did ride the Olympic trials road race in Hamilton and parts of the city are just stunning! Hammy has a bad reputation that's now unwarranted... but the Ti-Cats still suck.

Have you been to "I-Never-Win" stadium?

Hamilton has some very nice areas and a friend of mine lived there - only drawback was some of those narrow old streets with zero parking!

I saw Rush at I-Never-Win stadium long, long ago! Otherwise, there's no reason to go there.

Yep. They'd strung a wire from the top of the press box at mid-field down to the stage. Nobody noticed it until during "On The Run" when they sent a huge model plane down the wire, flames pouring out the back, that crashed into the side of the stage in a thundering great fireball. Scared the bejeepers out of us.

They did the same thing when I saw them. It was by far the best live concert I've seen
