I think the World is becoming a smaller and smaller place. I've been around longer than the majority of those who frequent these boards. In the time I've been on Earth a lot has changed - far more for me than most who might read this. I'm a veteran of the US Navy - I've had the chance to visit a lot of interesting places - some far more interesting than others - some I don't care to ever to return to. I am most familiar with our closest neighbors, Mexico and Canada. I spent the better part of three years in Argentia, Newfoundland. I gained a lot of respect for the Newfies! They are a very lovable and hard working group of people. You cannot judge the rest of Canada by looking at the people of the Maritimes - a place where for the most part, life is rough and very hard. The people of Newfoundland are resourceful, the hardest working and most honest people I have ever had the opportunity to be around. Since my time in the navy I have visited Canada several times and in spite of the views of many Canadians who reply to these board I believe that most Canadians are no different than us, they are honest and caring people. Those I have been around the most, other than the citizens of Newfoundland, are the people who live in the Prairie Provinces, people who are just like me, talk a lot like me, except without the obvious Texas heritage in accent, and believe in most of the same things that I do. I've never had the privilege of visiting British Columbia. I hope to in the near future. I know a lot about Mexico. I've spent a lot of time in Mexico and enjoyed the pinker parts of a lot of gorgeous young ladies - when I was younger! Oh to be younger again! I was raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas, an hour from the border. I have been well educated at a very low price. I have enjoyed many beautiful young Mexican girls and parted company with them mutually satisfied - I satisfied - she with a couple of dollars - a buck well spent. I've been all over Mexico, from Cancun to Chihuahua, from Mazatlan to Mexico City, Taxco, and Guadalajara - I spent fifteen years on the Highway Patrol - taught high school history for another fifteen after leaving a 440 Dodge Interceptor a whole lot worse for wear, loaded on a trailer in three different pieces. What do I, an American from the SW US think of the rest of the world? It's still all out there somewhere and I'd like to see a lot more of it! I would love to go back to Europe. I would love to visit the Scandinavian countries... I 'd like to fly over Paris, and feel an uncontrollable urge to go to the restroom. That is what I, just an ordinary guy from the heartland of the US, thing about the world.
