I rest my case. Texans are our crazy relatives.

Nothing wrong with a little crazy. Some of the greatest minds in history were "a little off" in one way or another.

How's that turkey coming?

There are crazy people and then there are Texans.

Yep. Everything's bigger and better here.

To paraphrase Nigel Tufnel, we go to 11.

I agree.

Turkey was excellent. Finished smoking to 157 in four hours flat though (14.5lbs, 225F, no stuffing, only 17min/lb) which was earlier than anticipated. Not as smoky flavored as I hoped but very moist and delish. Will use more apple chips next time. Only filled chip drawer twice.

Or lower the temp and smoke it slower. The longer it's in the smoke the more flavor you get.

In all my years (50) of trucking, touring and going to car races in the U.S., I have only met one person that was ignorant to me and I wrote that off as he was having a bad day.
I'd rather have you 'mericans as friends than enemies.

This is a Canadian Beer commercial! and it is Great!

The other night, at the start of the Saint Louis Blues hockey game [vs Edmonton if I remember right] - the singer in a tribute to our cousins up 'nort - killed the mike [or stopped singing, hard to see on the radio...] during the anthem. After a quick chuckle, the crowd bellowed out the rest. The singer did join back in over the mike. I thought it was a nice salute to the hockey fans in Canada.

[no, I am not going to learn grammar at this late age]

I did not know that factoid. That is pretty cool.

For those who have not heard of the Halifax explosion, during WW I, a ship bound for FranceIwith explosives on board caught fire and exploded in the harbor:

I have seen documentaries and read the history of the explosion which was horrific. I seem to remember that a part of the ship was blown 5? miles onto land and that part of the ship still rests were in fell?

The Halifax explosion is kinda like the Texas City incident after WWII.

A couple of links for your reading.

1 meter = 39 inches

1 kilometer = 3250 feet or about .625 miles

I heard someone say French Canadian. I should have known Canada was in France, not in America.

Quebec is it's own nation State inside Canada.

Can't drive to Alaska without the assistance of your Northern Neighbours.
We ship a lot of oil to the US as well.

There is French speaking Canadians in every province, not only in Québec.
Even though there is a majority of francophone living in Québec.
Canada is officially a bilingual country...English speaking majority and French speaking minority which I am.
Proudly Franco-Ontarian !
