Some Canada Day vignettes: Watching family kayakers while dipping my feet in Lake Ontario seated in a red & white lawn chair, noticing a parked red pickup truck with a hockey net in the box, and watching Canada Day coverage on CBC and CPAC complete with visiting royalty.<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-73848408314280717812011-07-01T22:29:04.463-04:002011-07-01T22:29:04.463-04:00Now that the day is actually here, let me say this...Now that the day is actually here, let me say this:<br />Happy Canada Day, Mr. Gagnon.Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-8621076536406612292011-06-26T18:56:49.192-04:002011-06-26T18:56:49.192-04:00Thanks powmill, Steve and Elijah for your kind com...Thanks powmill, Steve and Elijah for your kind comments. <br /><br />Patrick O'Brian's writing took a little while to get out of port, but then it took off with a tailwind.<br /><br />I just read this in a Montreal Gazette article entitled 'Canada's Ukrainian Heartland' written appropriately by Bryan Demchinsky:<br /><br />"Because we live in such a big country and mostly in cities, a lot of Canada is as unfamiliar to us as somewhere on the other side of the world. But if you look closely into out-of-the-way corners, there's so much to see."<br /><br />This resonated with me as aptly describing travelling across Canada by train. Happy Canada Day, all!<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-91863875810189288002011-06-26T02:48:27.456-04:002011-06-26T02:48:27.456-04:00Nice pictures.Nice pictures.Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-48057717032415523342011-06-26T00:27:28.307-04:002011-06-26T00:27:28.307-04:00I was a big fan of Patrick O'Brian.
