<LOL> You're right, much in the photo would be de rigeur in the northern climes of the US. What you likely don't recognize as uniquely Canadian, as part of our cultural landscape, is the coffee cups; any Canadian instantly recognizes them as Tim Horton's Coffee cups. No matter than Tim's is now owned by the same holding company that owns Wendy's burger joints - Americans buying out Canadian companies is also part of what makes us who we are. <vbg>. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
