Jay everything I have said has been pretty much tongue-in-cheek, I hope
you took it that way. (Actually, I thought the AMERICAN comment would
have started something kinda fun)
I lived in Vancouver for 41/2 years. I left there in 1998. Riding there
is not a lot of fun until you get an hour or so away from the
metropolitan area. Beautiful - definitely, crowded - definitely,
expensive - definitely.
Believe it or not Canada actually has three deserts. One in the
Okanagan area of British Columbia, about 31/2 hours from Vancouver, one
at Carcross in the Yukon and one near Carberry in Manitoba. And yes
they all get covered in snow.
As for toys. What I meant was so many more toys for more seasons. I
was not making a comparison to the USA.
As for "lot in life", I believe a person makes their lot in life with
what he has, where he has it and who he has it with. My lot in life is
just fine thank you!
