I don't know how the third world war will be fought, but I do know that the fourth one will be fought with sticks and stones...

Here is an irony for you...
A piece in the Press today told of a man who, years ago took french immersion in Winnipeg. Learning french was part of his plan to move to Montreal. He had a child after he moved to Quebec. That child had to be placed in in French school instead of English school because the father had taken french immersion in school so many years ago in Winnipeg. The irony is that in Manitoba, a child who has taken french immersion in school cannot transfer into the french program, unless one of the parents is fluent in french...not french immersion because that doesn't really count here, but Francais. Francais as it was explained to me is as much a culture as it is a language. Seems that the French want it both ways depending what province you are in. And this is suppose to promote the French language?
Gas Pricing...
Better get a move on Gary. The price of gas is soaring. Its going to cost you a small fortune to get your RV back to Canada. Gas on the west coast of USA is around $2.00/gal but still chaeaper than Vancouver at around $2.32 us/gal. I don't understand why there is a shortage of crude oil but apparently that is what is causing the price to go up. Gas here is now about the same price as it is on the USA west coast.....around $2.00 US/gal.
Well, better go, I've got to go over to the WCAM from 1 - 4 this afternoon. Keep on blogging!!!!
