Hey, I was impressed you knew where Plaster Rock is. And we still have
snow in New Brunswick too. But it is melting!

(Is anyone else carefully watching their contractions and apostrophes
now, or is it just me?)

Here is another pet peeve of mine since going online: the assumption
that I am from New Brunswick, New Jersey. My sigs used to say just New
Brunswick, and I would get lots of e-mail telling me how great N.J. is.
Now, I've never been there and I'm sure there are lots of nice places to
visit. But I am Canadian, proudly so, and so my sig is now more
specific. It doesn't bother me that most people don't know where I am,
it bothers me when they assume something that's not true.

Here's my geography lesson of the day:  New Brunswick is a wee province.
We border on Maine and Quebec to the west, and Nova Scotia to the east.
Prince Edward Island is a bridge away.
