City pass for the above tours available - save
on admission and don't have to stand in line. Winter should not be
crowded like it was for us in June. Will be a rush to fit all three in
one day but is doable. Night time architecture tour by boat? River
frozen over in February?

Bring camera for sure!

applied for ther jobs they new the hours they would work, they knew that
sunday was a working day. It's not like this was all hidden and then sprung
on them after they were hired. Apparently alot cannot read, because even on
the web site it says that you work sundays, especially if you are just
hired.
The city should do something, because it is gonna cripple this crappy city.
They are bus drivers who knew all about sunday working, now thye are pissed
off about it. Get a grip, get on your bus, do the job you agreed to when
they hired your stupid ass.

Better watch out for those speeding tickets Mr Schumaker.

and alot slimmer camera, and cooler looking. The Canon, while a good camera,
was $40 more, pretty much same features, but for it's "newness" had somewhat
of a thicker, bulkier design. Which I don't like.
Thanks to everyone for there suggestions.

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said,
"Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God
loves you. Do you believe in God?"He said, "Yes." I said,
"Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian."
I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said,
"Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said,
"Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern
Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too!
Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me,
too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or
Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said,
"Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said,
"Me, too!"

"Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council
of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes
Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative
Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said,
"Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

Google Maps) facing an 8 hour drive to start and end.

On my must-do list is a visit to the aquarium, museum, planetarium and
some architecture tours, a gangster thing, no shopping. Going either
2nd or 3rd week of February.

Renting a car (in Canada) to get me there and back, or could take the
Greyhound (no comments... I don't mind the highways, but I hate driving
in large cities).

Can I get all this done in 4 days? Only cost would be extra days in a
hotel and transit fare for the 7 day stay instead.

Also, anyone stay at cheaper hotels near the airport and take the tram
into town?

me. I have a ball that is great, but it seems to have developed a slow leak,
and I'd rather replace the bladder than the ball if possible. Thanks!

reason, the google gods have blanked all the details off the maps. No
cities, roads or labels. Satellite and terrain views work ok though.

I'm wondering what possible reason would google have to blank out that
region. Anyone causing trouble over there would already have detailed maps.

Any thoughts?

But not as much of a riddle as the question of why someone in Italy
post such things in a Central Canada newsgroup.
