Al: Thank you very kindly, living this close to the border, I see a lot of Americans like to get in on our party. We drove most of the distance from Sarnia ON- Port Huron MI to Niagara Falls yesterday, saw a lot of NY, MI, IN and OH plated cars on the road. Probably most of them being folks travelling to and from NY to MI for your party next week, and decided, what the hell we may as well party with the Canadians on our way. We got caught up in this same thing 2-3 years ago, visited with Bob and Glenda Mellville at Rochester NY, on the afternoon of June 30th, then headed home to Canada. The traffic across that border and up the 6 lane QEW was unbelievable. They did dispurse a bit at Hamilton, but it was still heavy. I got home that night and wondered if there had been a mass evacuation of upstate NY. Thanks again and you folks have a great party on Wed. 4th of July. One thing about this year corn is hip high by 4 of July, not just knee high. Funny also you mention the term Dominion Day, it has been called Canada Day since about mid 1960s. Most young Canadians don't even know what you are talking about if you call it Dominion Day. I had this happen just this past week, and the group of 40 year old folks I was talking with, asked what the hell I was talking about. "Dominion Day"
