Default Training ground

I hear what you're saying Geoff , but that must be a minor league training ground compared to the north. Last night with bug dope and clothes and bug hat I still got a good dozen bites and fought mosiquitos in the office all night just from the ones that clung on when I came indoors. And this was in just 4 minutes walking across a paved parking lot once an hour. Insane! The mossies will soon be suplimented by noseeums , bulldogs, blackflies, and haireaters. Alex can tell you about the bugs they grow up here. If you ever hit northen ontario fishing then you have an idea.
I will NEVER complain about Winnipegs mosquito population again, after living here. Also winter is at least 2 months shorter there and the temp averages 10c warmer for winter time highs and lows. There are people that restore green stuff and there are places to get a piece of metal or a can of paint or sandblasting or welding. There are places to take Shamus to wading pools, parks, zoo, sports ( Watching Big Blue kick Ottawa), and for him to play sports when he gets older. And those are the tangibles. I am not making the best financial decision but I am making the best quality of life decision. Its a shame when convicted criminals can decide my financial future. Again , you have to ask Alex about the simplicity and complexity of the North, I can't quite adjust to it.
