Hello, No newsletter last week because I was in the Rocky Mountains of Canada, and spent the day driving from beautiful Banff to equally beautiful Jasper. We landed in Vancouver and spent a couple of days there before flying out into the wild, and I cannot get over how polite, clean and just damn orderly this country is. There are so many road signs telling you to do, or not to do, stuff. (Sample on the road to Jasper: don't feed wildlife, clean your boat before winter, don't bring weapons into the park, don't bring timber into the park, speed fines DOUBLE if there are construction workers about.) The roads are also really well maintained, in sharp contrast to somewhere like Missouri which seemed to have bits of busted tyre and wing mirror every few dozen miles.
