    As does the Calgary Tower. The new observation platform was just completed this spring. Haven't been up there yet.
    The one in the CN tower is Toronto freaked me out. I was so busy looking out the windows that I didn't realize I was standing on a glass floor. Darn near wet myself when I looked down. :eek:

    Hank!!!

    We need a new "HAMISH KILT NIGHTS!!" forum.

    I'm buying my tickets.

    Hamish, get my room ready.

    I like WARM toast with my breakfast.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Out here in Arizona the Hualapai Tribe is building one of those glass bottom observation deals.

    The difference is the Hualapai rig will hang out over the Grand Canyon so there'll be no worry of anyone looking up your kilt.

    ....and ladden with butter. I could never figure out the purpose of putting the toast in those holders that quickly made the toast colder than last night's leftovers. At least the traditional breakfast includes beans and tomatos not to mention proper bacon.

    A glass floor hanging out over the Grand Canyon?!

    I wouldn't be in a kilt, I'd be in a straight jacket!

    Hamish, are your comforters goose down or duck down? I'm allergic to duck feathers.

    Hey! Steve, Dee and everyone! As I said, I've not even thought it out yet. At the rate I work, this 'Gathering' probably won't be until 2007!

    Oh, and by the way, I don't do accommodation let alone toast for breakfast!

    Note to Colin: You mean you don't HAVE toast-racks in Port Moody? Come to think of it, I didn't see any whilst I was there - but then, it was not breakfast-time, was it? ;)

    I have always understood that the toast is put into a toast-rack on the table, to allow the steam to disperse without leaving the bread soggy and/or tough! If your toast is cold, then your serving maid is bringing it to the table too soon. I'd sack her and get someone who knows their craft. That's the trouble thesedays - no training and no experience!
