TIME TO START THE CELEBRATIO!
It's July 1st and it's a big holiday.
But not here. The holiday is across the border
in Canada. It's CANADA DAY...marking the
combination of three territories' into one
Canada! That happened in 1867! I wanted to
help them celebrate! Canada is such a good
neighbor and they've given us so much! A
Canadian, Marcellus Edson patented Peanut
paste ( Peanut butter). Canada gave us
Lacrosse. The Snowmobile. And it was a
Canadian surgeon, Fredrick Banting and a
medical student, Charles Best, isolated the
hormone insulin for the first time! I know a
little about Canadian products. A few years
back my old friend and colleague Derry Bird
and I went on a fishing trip to Canada. It was
raining when we arrived and we knew we'd
have to spend the night holded up in my camper.
Derry bought a 6 pack. It seems Canadian beer
has a higher alcohol content than American
beers. I had two. I think. I don't really remember.
But I know I slept well that night! Anyhow, today's
the day to toast our friends to the north. So to all
you Canadians, I hope your day is great and all
your NEWS is good! Eh?
