(We are all NORTH AMERICANS...and some of our 142 year old neighbors to the north do not appreciate being left out of the description "Americans"). Others might feel that Time is to short to worry about it.

Actually, you'll be 234 y.o. on July 4 next year, when you finally qualify for statehood...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Loves Canada too, will not start an exchange of criticism between two great nations.
Do like the lighthearted replies though. Got the 142 thing right away. Kind of surprised Brittain hasn't chimed in.
