    Just remember that the Maple Leaf is an asymmetric tartan and that you can't use a 4 yard double width piece for an 8 yard knife-pleated kilt.

    Of course

    We loved in when we went in '99 as well. This time it's just a 2-3 day side trip from Rome to visit some friends and relax before heading back to London for a few days before flying home.

    Maple Leaf is such a handsome tartan, I almost wish I was Canadian. -- Almost -- Maybe I will just eat more pancakes.

    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Well I am not Canadian, but almost all of my relatives are. My mother's uncles all emigrated from Scotland to Canada early in the twentieth century, so her cousins and my second cousins are Canadian born.
