    I think there are probably more recent immigrants that don’t speak English than québécois.

    Probably some First Nations folks too.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Couldn't make up my mind if this belonged here or the Funny pics thread.

                        Thanks, Jon. I couldn't help it, I went on GoogleEarth Street View and enjoyed driving and looking around. There is something weird about it. All properties about the same size, all seem to have their own land also the same size, for farming. I wonder if this is a Commie-like result, but the homes seem to reflect the individuality of the homeowner. Someone should find a way to translate text from pictures, it would be interesting to read the signs and postings while driving along in street view.

                              Nobody gives driving directions in Boston by saying the compass direction - North, South, East, West. The streets just don't work that way. Visitors are easily confused.

                                  @jon-nyc Why would it have been addressed to the Secretary of State? Why not the VP?

                                        You can hear the panic in her voice. Good job by the controller and instructor.

                                          That was really bad. I have never heard anyone, flying solo, sound anywhere near that bad.

                                          I have had a few students sound like that, but I was sitting in the plane with them.
