I have a friend who lives in a very small town in central Maine and
out there your family has to go back at least two generations before
you are considered a local. We're not quite so particular. If you
drink beer, enjoy red meat and don't mind getting your boots dirty,
you can be an Albertan. Riding a motorcycle is a bonus.

Hmm. Well, I prefer pan-fried trout to beef, but I have been known to
put away beer like the world was about to end and, interestingly enough,
my wife nagged at me this very morning to get my riding boots out of her
office or at least clean 'em off. Being the loyal manservant that I am,
I dutifully took 'em to the laundry room and hosed 'em off in the
laundry tub. Apparently dirt, gravel, and old dog shit has no place in
laundry tubs, as I now know. Oh well, beer dulls the pain.

The dawn of sanity...
