Re: "Heaven Help The Devil May He Have A few Unpleasant Memories"

Re: Gordon Lightfoot/ Gotta Get Away

This video and the footage of GL pretty much define the word awesome, and it also speaks well of the rugged beauty of Canada. GL has raised a lot of awareness in my mind of Canada and its history. I...

Re: Meadowbrook Gilford, NH

Yes I noticed that a number of times, both driving and flying up there--all those fields, it almost looks like parts of the midwest from above. People tend to forget that Maine has that.
