Default Happy Canada Day!

Today is Canada's 146th birthday. The Snowbirds just flew over. Chris Hadfield will be singing on Parliament Hill today. Much, much more. Plus I had to drive...again.

And of course that is a maple tree in the pic.

Chris Hadfield...love the Space Station video.

Steve,

I appreciate those greetings! Not too many people know the Bricklin was manufactured in Eastern Canada.
