You wish... When it comes to Multinational Companies they don't go by the exchange rate but if they did it would be ~50 USD

When I was on the Lincoln site, I use to tel the US members that they would save a bundle if the could buy across the border.

Regardless of their "normal" prices, they will give in and give it to you for $5. It's usually for a period of 6 months though. Rinse and repeat. They can't afford to lose customers because there is so much competition these days.

I remember dialing my dad's 1929 Howard Shortwave radio and listening to weird foreign broadcasts, including something like teletype machines relaying propaganda, or who knows what. As a kid, I felt like I was spying on the Soviet Union. Heh!

The name JC Higgins made me think of the book, Henry Huggins. I read that when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. Brings back memories. Anybody else read that, or any of the other Beverly Cleary books when you were a kid?

When you realize, doing what you're supposed to do, is simply not doing things that you enjoy.
