I had way too much coffee today.

Where do you feel it?

Maybe as in, stomach, head, or shaking hands, etc.

Seriously?  We label 'Washington' and 'Lincoln' on our bills and the Canadians just assume everybody can recognize Laurier and Macdonald on sight?

You don't want to go there, son.

Oh.  Well, I felt a little bit of a buzz, made too many Languish posts and then later had a headache when I crashed.  I then drank lots of water & am okay now

edit: I love the whining from the old farts in the office whenever I make a double-strength pot of coffee.  Just dilute it if it's too strong

How common is it to ride the train in Canuckistan?

The Windsor-Toronto-Montreal corridor train use is reasonably common.

Out here though nobody does.

I do want to ride the one that goes out West through the rockies. It's expensive but supposedly well worth doing once.

Yup.  One Gold Star for you!

Together with Mackenzie King on the $50, and of course Liz on the $20.

If there is a Canada quiz, I'll need to read MacLean's again to catch up.
