    Blue Jumper Happy.................

    Happy Canada Day to all this side of mthe border...............

    Here in Quebec its official moving day (100,000 addres changes expected), introduced 1976 after the first separatist provincial government got elected. It had been May first forever but they changed for the Canada Day date. However all governments, Banks and Post office are closed.

    Nope, apparently people use July 1 in Quebec for Moving Day. I do not know if it is official, but I can see the Separatist Parti-Quebecois pushing for it that way.

    Quebec is like that crazy friend you have. Good in small doses, sometimes gets on your nerve, but does a bunch of crazy stuff that makes him your friend.

    What's the difference between Chris Ryser and the National Enquirer ?

    National Enquirer gives information past the shocking front page.

    Looks there is a lot of National Enquirer headers only readers in Canada.

    What's shocking me the most is that nobody asked : WHY IS IT LIKE THAT ?

    It's easier to judge than to understand.

    As we say here : laziness is mother of all sins....
