I don't think I'd want to get on a plane with a musical act.  :hmm:

I worry about riding the intercity busses in Canada, because of the prevelance of Chinese decapitators.  ;)

I would never, and have never, taken an intercity bus in the US or Canada. I think Poland is a bit different.

Here in Alberta there's a company that does a very nice 'upscale' intercity bus service between Calgary, Edmonton, and Ft. McMurray.  Given how much of a gong show those highways are I'd prefer to take that bus than drive if I can manage it.

Edmonton-Fort Mac in particular is a disaster, and the QE2 could probably use another lane going each way.

I'm going to have to drive down there for my wife's family reunion in August.  I am:  Sad.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Man, the 63 looks, atleast on Street View, like some regular Quebec Highway. That's really not good.

So is David Gilmour, of Pink Floyd.

Before I had a car, I regularly took Greyhounds to and from Atlantic City.  They're all right, the far more annoying part of taking these buses are the wait times to board them.  Now that I have a car, taking a bath is beneath me, of course.

Well, I don't guess anybody is going to want to carpool with you.

Unless those old folks are working flipping burgers and the like, I doubt their increased participation is seriously affecting the ability of HS kids to get jobs ...  ;)

Many are.  Dunno as to the effect on HS kids seeking jobs, though.

Went to Calgary and back on the Dominion Day weekend.  QE2 was ridiculous - came to a complete stop due to congestion on more than a few occasions.

But that does not exactly refute the theory that people who work as teenagers end up having shitty jobs and are idiots, does it?

Teaching is eminently respectable, something that can not be said for being a Polish lawyer.

Not here in America. :huh:

I dunno, being a Polish lawyer in America is even worse than being an American teacher.
