I spent a week at EXPO '67. Mostly in the Barbadian pavilion, soaking up the excellent rum.
I was serving in Germany with 4 CMBG during our centennial. The Germans laughed at us saying that 100 years was "modern history" and that as a country, we had "keine kulture".
I said - "That's true, but our homes have central heating, flush toilets and we didn't kill 6 million people in WWII."
That usually terminated the conversation, other times getting a little testy .....
I was in First Horse at the time. Caught a flip back to Canada for Expo.
I was too busy yesterday to post a Happy Birthday canada. Yeah! Iknow! I miss everybodies birthday, until a bit later. I celebrated by doing some gardening and BBQ a big steak, washed down by some Forty Creek, Copper Pot Reserve CANADIAN whiskey.
We went to the Canada Day parade at Spruceview, AB. Lots of horses. Then a -BQ for lunch, then later, dinner at the Innisfail Golf Course.
