I can just picture myself sitting in his garage in Orono, drinking instant coffee and watching Les shoe a horse. Sounds like watching grass grow, but Les would tell jokes and occasionally spew some of the finest anti-Liberal venom possible. I can just imagine what he would be saying now about our federal government's government's decision to tell the Americans that we will not support them in Iraq. "Even them Dutchmen pitched in," he would likely likely tell me. I have a lot of friends in the United States of America. When you are involved in the old car hobby, you tend to make a lot of trips there and we have been doing that for a long time. Since 1968, there has hardly been a year when we haven't been in the U.S. It has always been pleasant. I love Americans and they (used to) love us. I heard yesterday that if you travel into the States now, you should just get gas at the self-serve stations.. My brother-in-law, Bubba, is from Tulsa, OK and spent several several years in Vietnam. His old unit was the 173rd Airborne. That's the same unit that parachuted into northern Iraq and secured that airfield. I don't have to ask him how he feels about Canada not participating. That first trip below the border was with my good friends Rick Dixon and Bill Appleton. We decided to see how far south we could get in three days. We took my '65 Chev Impala. In those days there wasn't such a thing as debit cards and credit cards were generally just used only for gasoline. I had an Esso gas credit card and we had taken some U.S. money in money orders, but by the time we got about half-way home we ran out of cash. We got a motel room in Virginia and the clerk reluctantly reluctantly .took a $5.00 Canadian bill as part payment. We went to every local bank to try to cash in some of our Canuck bucks for Yankee but they politely refused. We had about $3.00 left in U.S. money, so we walked over to a grocery store and got a large glass jar of Planters Peanuts and a quart of orange juice. Bill was carrying the peanuts and when we ran across the highway highway back to the motel, the peanuts squirted out of Bill's hands and landed on the road. Of course, the jar broke scattering our supper all over the roadway. It was not a happy moment. When we got back to the motel; we turned on the television and discovered that Bobby Kennedy had just been shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. It was June 6, 1968. Two month's and two days after Martin Luther King. Many of our American friends are asking why Canadians are not helping them in Iraq. My view is that we are providing minimal help but our federal government doesn't want to say we are. Les Reid's hero, John Diefenbaker, once said, "The only good thing about polls is that it's a place for dogs to pee". However, a recent poll showed that 72% of the folks in Quebec were against the war. I believe that the Quebec vote still seems to control this country. This is a difficult concept for Americans to understand. I'm having trouble too. Quite often we take our Studebaker to a car meet in the States. I carefully tape two small flags on the antenna as a quiet way of celebrating the great relationship we have with our neighbours to the south. This year I think I will remove one flag... 1 ij 11 ■:ir Hobby Farm with horse barn and workshop... Bowmanville area... $419,900 Thinking of Selling?
