We were there in 1966 and they were still building. It was ad-libbed when our original plan did not work out. Lake George NY, Montreal, Bangor Maine, Provincetown, MA. I forget how much money I had, about $150, so we went $75 north and turned around. |

We bought a new '67 Plymouth Fury III sedan - with AIR CONDITIONING! - for the trip, medium green in color. Very snazzy to us, and it would be several years before we got a/c for the house... An affluent couple my parents were friends with bought a new Chyrsler Imperial for their Expo '67 roadtrip and I remember my parents going on about how they spent an extravagent $600.00!!! for their trip, about $4700 in today's money...IIRC we budgeted $300 for ten days, a goodly sum then. It was a fun trip, we returned from Canada down through Vermont and then west home...a stop at Niagara Falls, natch. Dad was anxious to get home to tend to his garden, so we drove straight through from Utica NY to home in Illinois... The only bad thing was how appallingingly nasty the Québécois were to us when we'd stop and ask for directions, in one case they deliberately gave us the wrong directions...also at a Chinese resto outside of Montreal the owners charged us for rice with our modest chow mein meal, lol. I was obssessed with the Soviet Union/communism at the time, and the biggest treat at Expo was visiting the Soviet Pavilion...I remembered armed guards atop the Cuban Pavilion (the Cubans had received threats to blow up the building), and the Czech Pavilion had enourmous lines to enter, so no Cuban and Czech "experiences"...taking the train/monorail around the grounds was great, too. Ah, those old road trips...the new Interstates were making travel much easier, and to stay at a new Holiday Inn was a very cool thing to do, sheer luxury compared to some of the moldy old tourist cabins that were still about... The graphics, etc. for the "Man And His World" Expo '67 were very modern, and 50+ years later they remain so. 1967 was Canada's centenary, and they introduced the new maple leaf flag...it was the grooviest thing in the world to be Canadian. -- Best Greg |

Montreal is a nice city and a bargain for tourists. My son lived there for ten years so we made several trips up to visit him. Hotels and restaurants were always relatively cheap. |

I always use real dinner plates and I always let my ferrets check out each meal and eat right off that if they cared to. No worries, we all shared the household germs. Those cheap paper plates (not coated) are just cheap paper plates. I would never use one for a real meal. Sheldon is just a cheapskate. |

No. Good for a pork chop? No. Good > for soup? No. But they have their uses. I use a real plate for all those things. Pop it in the dishwasher and it's done. I can almost always find room in the dishwasher to squeeze in one little plate. That said, I often use the same plate for more than one snack, or I'll reuse a snack plate at dinnertime to hold a piece of bread with olive oil drizzled on it. Cindy Hamilton |

Not because a dirty paper plate might be offensive to the sorters but I don't want to put anything in there that might draw critters. Certainly nothing in there that would knock me down with the smell when I open the lid. All emptied vegetable cans get a rinse as well as that would also make such a nasty mess in my recycling bin. The recycling bins and trash cans provided by the city are the same type. I have noticed on a lot of trash cans around the lid are chiseled marks for lack of a better description. I think I've figured out its squirrels and maybe possums trying to get into the cans but can't manage to lift the lid and get in and get out so they attempt chewing the perimeter of the lids. Any foodstuffs I have go in a Walmart or Kroger plastic bag and are stored in the freezer until trash day. I know people with families have a LOT more trash than me and this is not feasible. Foodstuffs would be meat trimmings or bones. |

My primary use of foil is in the toaster oven or to cover a half-sheet pan when I'm roasting vegetables or baking Tater Tots. I don't use foil very often, but it's the best thing for some jobs.

I've read both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. I didn't know I was supposed to take them seriously. Cindy Hamilton |
