Dave....
Well, 6.75 U.S. works out to be about hmmmm.... hmmmmm... 9.10 or so
Canadian....
I stopped on our infamous 401 highway this past summer for gas, (on my way
to a hamfest with my buddy VE3CRM Bob of Paris, Ontario fame...) the
cigarettes were 9.05 a pack of 25.... most of that cost is tax also.....
guess we could trade horror stories all day..... the horror.... the
horror...
Nice to meecha.... didnt realize that SOC was so international.....
