Marc,

Yes I did say BEER and thats the way we pronounce it Frank!!  At least we HAVE REAL BEER not bottled water!!  LOL   (Why is American beer like making love in a Canoe? "F$%# close to water!")

Just for every one's information, I don't speak French, I don't live in an Igloo and NO you can't go skiing in Canada in the middle of JULY!!! 

Just kidding everyone, Marc if you are close to Windsor Locks and want to meet me for a beer, that would be great. I'll be flying in and since the course I'm taking is at the Hotel, they wouldn't splurge and give me a rental! Not sure what's around there but I'm sure there should be at least one bar with the HOCKEY game on!!! 

Email me a phone # and when I fly in I'll give you a ring. robert.m.bolzon@jci.com

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Rob,

       If you ask for beer in CT, they won't know what you;re talking about, Eh?

Frank, we understand beer in just about any language For some reason, in this part of CT everyone talks like they're from Brooklyn, so it's "Yo vinnie, howza bout a beah ova hea, *&$^% !"

Marc,

       OK, I'm just trying to help Rob through the "Culture shock" They are pretty isolated up there ya know!

      Rob, "Flying in?"  Does this mean Air Canada got the plane to work again, WOW! er CRIKEY!

Yeh Frank, Air canada just got a new supply of coal, so they should be able to fly for a few months anyways! And as for the Connecticut slang, my Mother-in-law is from Lynn MA, and I finally figured out what she means when she says, "lets tak a ride in the cah and go get a cawfee" !!  So I should be able to figure them out!!  LOL

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!
