Working in Yuma this week I swear half the Snow Birds are flying the ole’ Maple leaf over their RVs. Silver & white hared folks driving around town in their little towed vehicles doing about 10-15 under the posted speed limit. But that’s not just the visitors from the great white north lots of folks from Northern States as well.

Makes me wonder what the illegal’s must think when they walk out of the desert for the first time & see all those Maple leaf flags being proudly flown over the hundreds of RV encampments. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif

Not a rant so much as I always seem to have a hard time finding a decent hotel here in Yuma during the summer months with the snow birds. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

hehehehe...Back during my trip across Canada in 2004, I wrote this in my journal:

"Now, my friends who live in Alberta, I apologize for the following. All across that province, I noticed that Albertan's drive in what I call "clusters". Whatever the speed limit, that's what they drive; not one kilometer over or one kilometer under. Exactly at the speed limit. That means they link up in little clusters of 4 to 6 cars, all doing exactly the same speed. And its like a "Borg mindset" kicks in. They waltz along together in perfect time, evenly spaced so that no other car can get in between any member of the cluster, much less my 50' rig!

Oh, occasionally the lead car in the cluster will slow down for whatever reason and each of the following cars will slowly pass it and then resume the exact speed limit building a new cluster with the previous leader in the rear. And if for some reason the cluster breaks up, the front cars hook up with the rear cars of a cluster down the road and form a new cluster while the rear cars link up with the front cars of the cluster behind and form up. Plus, they won't move over to the shoulder to let a faster vehicle pass, instead they force following vehicles to join their cluster."

Tony;
That's Canada at work, we all get together and do nothing until the feeling of being useful goes away.

Bret;
Those old folks don't run this country, they just control the money.
