Folks,<br />I browsed Andy's website to find out why rugged people love Rock Music. <br /><br />Here, besides the nice pictures of the Canadian countryside, there are music videos on the sidebar.<br /><br />Of these music videos, I found the one "Show Them to me" by Rodney C. most interesting.<br /><br />I bet some FOYers (who? who?) will find it interesting too.

I still have that sweater taken at the lake, now I know how old it is. I miss the mountains as I haven't been there for over 10-12 years. <br /><br />I have a better and bigger car today than that Chevy but I don't travel in Canada anymore. <br /><br />I go to the States because gas, food, motels and goods are all cheaper. Their highways are a lot better. <br /><br />I like to drive to Arizona, to visit my friend who moved there, but it's many miles away and a good four day drive.<br /><br />I also flew to Phoenix, London, Ontario and Florida to visit other friends.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
