Croatia. You should see it to believe it. Some FANTASTIC cheese here, too, esp. from the island Pag (Paski sir - made of sheep milk (or is it shep milk, Kev?) - if you really like cheese, this one's worth searching for).

I hope we'll soon be in the United States of Europe, the United States of the World next.

Best regards to yall,

Delavan, WISCONSIN-after years in Chicago area and Lexington, KY, suffer badly from train depravation. As needed W&S road switcher with 1-3 cars doesn't make it. On the other hand, in twelve years, I have never had to wait for the second green at any of the six stop lights in town and my copy of Trains gets here quick. Go Comets Soccer.

What do you mean, That aint hay!

The nice gentleman from Columbia said that was the "best darn hay" you could buy....

It smells funny, but the cows love it!

Besides, those Nappa Valley cows get some really, really good wine with their "hay".

Wow, Ed i almsot fell off my seat when you said Paul Martin, didn't know the news reached that far south.

I like him, he's a true liberal.. The outgoing prime minister said he doesn't want to see the party moving Rgith wing.. Ieven i'm slighly worried about that too, Otherwise i might be stuck voting NDP (Socialist Left wing party)

But when it comes to Railroads
He's half and half.

A short time ago, 700 million (correct that if its wrong) was alotted to Via rail, for new cars and for track upgrades to allow for future High Speed Via Rail. As of right now in msot cities, the maximum A train can move is 95 MPH but in rural areas it can be as slow as 65 MPH.

Thats why they needed the money for track upgrades.

But Paul Martin I believe will take the money and spend it somewhere else, and may only enbd up Giving Via rail half that amount.

I believe that Paul Martin will spend a fair amount of time repairing our relationship between the United States and ourselves, I personally think our Relationship is fine.

But seeing as it's out with the old, in with the new.. They're doing a budget count now, to see exactly how much money is where.

As of right now, he's got my vote, Now that might change in the next few months [:D]

From what used to be a huge railroad mecca for all roads, Minnesota is already represented, but one more for good measure won't hurt.
