bboyminn:

The thing most people in the USA forget is that the UK
is just a few hundred miles away in a winter wonderland
called CANADA.

You can order the UK versions from 'Chapters - Indigo'
in Canada.

Jeremiah:

Actually, I don't think of Canada as the UK. (And isnt' it more of an Arctic
Desert than a Wonderland? On the whole, I mean... and I live in a
Mediteranean Desert climate, so I'm not being judgemental about
deserts...) Canada is it's own country now, aren't they? I think they had
their 75th anniversary as not being "England to the West." However, I
understand that they have an allegence to the UK... one that America
doesn't... probably because we were established as penal colonies and that
whole "Tea Party" down in Boston...

But, anyhoo, the point being that I didnt' "forget" as much as "Nobody Ever
Told Me of Such a Thing."

Thanks fgor th Heads Up on it. Too bad I've already ordered. It would be
nice to give it a try.

(P.S. I don't have any resentment towards Canada or the UK. It's just that
I'm very proud to be an American and when America is belittled for something
I have an urge to defend/correct it. I, in no way, feel that Canada or the
UK is "superior" to America and vice-versa).

I'll check the website and see aht they've got.

Thanks again!
