    Ok....That's close to Humboldt...... I've never been there before. Must be a very small town or a village?
    Is it over there or over yonder?

    But I have to say, since joining the forum things have changed for the better in all aspects.
    Believe they will for you as well.

    PS. Love my Army Navy too. And the other 50 some. RAD rocks.

    Gramp's Army Navy is special to me. After the holiday season I'm thinking of sending it plus a couple of others to Lynn and have him give them a professional hone. After all these years of shaving with old razors I'm seriously thinking of buying a brand new Boker too.

    I don't know which is worse----collecting razors, old pocket watches, or A.H. Fox double barrel shotguns.

    I've never been there before either but the cousins tell me it is a small town. My travels to Canada are limited to Manitoba............Winnepeg to Swan River and points in between.

    What was confusing to me was the speed limit in kph when my speedometer registered only mph. Another thing was the "orbit" signs.............took me a while to figure out that an "orbit" was a trash bin. LOL

    A friend came up from NY to visit me a few years ago and made the trip from the bridge in record time. She looked a bit shocked to be alive and relieved to have avoided a ticket when I pointed out that the limit was 80 km/h and not 80 mph.

    And thank you for the reminder about Orbits. That brought to mind happy memories of driving from Winnipeg to the lake in NW Ontario as a kid.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    It's been a long time since I've been to Winnipeg. I wonder if they still have "Orbits". Once I figured out what they were I found them quite handy.
