- Go to Canada and the US...Part I
Statistically speaking--
if you stand with one foot in a bucket of ice water and the other foot in a bucket of boiling water, on the average, you're comfortable.

Naut
Before I started writing on Blogit I never new anyone from Canada. I have met via Blogit some of the nicest folks from up there. You are definitely one of them.
I like comparisons like this. It does help to give some perspective about our neighbors. Thank you good man. ~Peace, OTA

Hello Nautikos!!!! I had no idea when I had ventured upon! I have been studying Tennyson's poem Ulysses. I want to write an epic (less than 50 lines) on dramatic monologue. So I experimented with Fibonacci. It was fun! Then I saw your comment and I cannot believe what a new world I have been exposed to! It is so wonderful I am lost for words! I can't thank you enough!

Happy Canada Day Naut!
I suppose I was to taken by my Mann's very late family arrival to remember it.
The stats. seem OK. It probably varies a lot depending on the city or state (province) you live in. I'm wandering if part of the USAmericans debt is not due because of their private health system. I mean having an operation there is pretty expensive and lot of people must sale their house and/or be in debt to pay for it. Also, the scandal with "loaning" money to people who could barely afford a first mortgage comes to mind...
As for your comment on the Spain-Germany game: I don't believe a word of it. Who are your sources? And, They didn't say a knighthood, they say a night IN the wood! I'm sure of it, kind of. LOL Tschüs.

Well, I think I have my friend, with his big Moon Valley house in Phoenix, and his Canadian friend embroiled in a bit of a controversy just because of your statistics. They do love to compare and to argue.

Very Interesting
The huge difference in debt shocked me most, I think. Then again, I guess the bigger houses come with bigger mortgages.
Can't wait for part 2
