Canada's the backawards neighbour? I think someone got it backwards. 😎Hey, don't shoot the messenger 😀
(I even don't live in the USA)
Don't worry. I'm Canadian. I wouldn't shoot anybody. 🙂
You live in the South. Aren't you required to own a gun and shoot furriners on sight?
That's Yankees. Carpet-bagging, Georgia burnin', ever-lovin' Yankees 😀

I bet you didn't know that I'm actually from Cape Breton.You win that bet.
Your name looks French, not Gaidhlig or Brezhoneg or Scots/English, which is what I would expect in Cape Breton. I guess I've missed out on learning about at least one group of immigrants to that piece of Canada.

My name is indeed French. There are 2 area on Cape Breton Island that are mainly French. The rest of CB is mostly of Irish and Scottish descent.
You mentioned Gaels. There's actually a small college there that still teaches Gaelic.

No. But only because the world map is incorrect. That part's not "THEM", it's just Extended Upstate New York, AKA "Canada".

I love that the comment starts out with "the late..." and is about how to achieve immortality. 🙂Ah, but the writer was an Argentinian who died in Spain, while the subject of his poem (although it was written in the 1st person) was a Cuban who had left his heart buried in Cuba ("Cuando sali de Cuba deje enterrado mi corazon" is the line, apart from some missing diacritics that Mozilla doesn't let me type). I don't think Aguilé (I'm not going to type his name in full aagin, it's far too long) ever claimed to have left his heart in Argentina (or indeed anywhere else), neither buried nor above ground.
But I know where you are coming from. It struck me that way too. :laugh:
Although if I could devise a sure and certain guaranteed way of having my heart buried in Scotland without that killing me off I might just try it now that I'm living elsewhere, if I thought that immortality would really ensue, maybe, if I was feeling particularly gullible, and a bit naive. Or perhaps not - I can't envisage believing it would work.

Nope. It's in the small round piece of Canada, just east of Maine.
Cape Breton Island is at the eastern end of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.

Well, ever since they removed "gullible" from the dictionary ...

Only if you use American maps. In the maps of my youth (civilised - ie European or Canadian - maps it was always coloured red (= us), like all the other parts of the Commonwealth and Empire, while the USA was usually a bilious green (= forsaken excolonials) and Russia a dull and boring grey (= incredibly boring). Bad colour choices - we should have somehow found a way to merge bilious green (for Joseph McCarthy) with dull and boring grey (for Harry Truman) to get a proper colour for the USA and found something else (maybe that orange used on the U.S. and Them map for the USA) for Russia; but hey, I was too young to have a say in the map colours, so don't blame me.

I think that green is an appropriate color for the US

Wrong denomination - those should be $100s

Did you have half an hour of work you were looking to pay me for there, Steve? 😉

I can't afford Benjamins. We're in a recession, so you have to make do with Jacksons.
If you want to work for a half hour, I am happy to email some more Jacksons to you. How many .jpgs do you want?
