Good afternoon Red_One43:
Thank You. I live In K-W (Kitchener-Waterloo) About an hour away from Toronto. Believe it or not, I'm not a big CFL fan. Never have been. In my house growing up it was always about the NFL. My father (R.I.P.) had always tried to get me to become a Packers fan, but I fought him tooth & nail, LOL. For me it was always about John Riggins, Art Monk, Darrel Green & of course the hogs.
I've seen the Skins play several times, but obviously never in my own back yard. Typically I don't want time to go by quickly, but in this instance, October can't come fast enough.

I am familiar with K-W and Cambridge and Guelph. I saw the snowbirds at the Waterloo Regional Airport. I know that Gretzky is from Brantford, Ontario and that singing dude is from Stratford, Ontario.
I did a driving trip from Woodstock to New Brunswick to Ontario and hit lots of cities in Ontario - London, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto. I joke that I started in Waterloo, N.B. and ended in Waterloo, Ontario (didn't really end there but passed through).
I enjoy going to Canada.

I enjoy going to Canada.It's a small world isn't it? Just last year I too saw the snow birds at the Waterloo regional Airport. It was humid as HE_L!!!
I should have been wearing my Redskin shirt and you, yours. We would have surely met.My mother lived in Stratford for many years & I worked there as well for about 5 or so years. & You're thinking of Justin Beiber. We like to refer to him as "the turd from Stratford".
I have many friends who live in Guelph & in Cambridge. Personally, I think K-W is cleaner & prettier. Although real estate is cheaper in Cambridge.
Wow, small world indeed. I did go through Stratford. Stopped a supermarket called Zehrs. I didn't get into the tri-cities ( did I get that right) so wouldn't know which was cleaner, but I was shocked by what I saw in Hamilton, it looked like the Oil cities of Beaumont, Texas and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Did enjoy the hospitality thoughout the trip. I enjoy traveling the back roads and the small town folks. That was a trip to remember.Next time you want to make the trip up here, send me a private message, I'll give you my address, we'll meet & have some of our strong Canadian beer. It's always good to have a beer or 12 with another fellow "Die hard".
