Heh. The only person I've ever actually *met* from Saskatchewan (that I knew about) was almost oppressively cultured, in a Shakespeare-quoting, cello-playing sort of way. Is there really -- or were the road atlas makers laying traps for illicit map copiers -- a town of Pheasant Rump? I was in a hurry, and in a moving van, the one time I passed through, so I could neither stop and revel in the miles of bird marsh by the Trans-Canada (a shock to someone required to read various Depression-era novels, where "dry" and "flat" compete for emphasis) nor deke off the road to check for possibly mythical towns. -- Graydon -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
