(...) Don't worry, the biggest shock I ever got was in '97. I left Victoria on the 15th of Jan, went home via "The Canadian" (quite nice, and relatively cheap for a under 25er). Got on in Vancouver, it was +10C and raining, got off in LongLac (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) That is just flat out not true. It is too "near something"... near the end of the earth. We (my inlaws and their friends) own a cabin (well, technically 99 year crown lease) at mile 180 1/2 Algoma Central railway. That's a wayback spot, you (...)

(...) Nah, you must be misteaken. Thunder Bay isn't near Yellowknife. ;) (...) Cool. We have one of those too, except ours isn't quite so remote - just a 15 minute hike from the nearest highway (or a half-hour paddle across the lake). Running water (...)
