This blog is created, edited and managed as well as masticated,  by a British Born Canadian living in the USA.

Regatta, Hydroplane, Volkswagen, Constable and other stuff!

Posted on November 21, 2014 by Chris Cane

As someone once said “Back in the day!” This event occurred during Expo 67 in Montreal. I was living in Longueuil PQ, it was PQ then and changed to QC later, I have no idea why. I was driving an 1958 Austin A55 1600 CC with four on the tree. It was my first car

How much wood could a Woodpecker Peck if a …

Posted on March 17, 2013 by Chris Cane

A Mexican woodpecker and a Canadian woodpecker were in Mexico arguing about which country had the toughest trees. The Mexican woodpecker claimed Mexico had a tree that no woodpecker could peck. The Canadian woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a hole in the tree with no problem. The Mexican woodpecker was amazed. The Canadian woodpecker then challenged

The Mistake that Mike Made – Stickers on Windshield

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Chris Cane

It was a while ago when I worked in Canada at Varian Associates. The company controller was a nice enough guy but once in a while he would become a little anal in his approach to enforcing the company rules. I’ll call him Mike, because that was his name. Mike decided one day to become

Can you go home? Nostalgia?

Posted on August 3, 2010 by Chris Cane

It was 1978, I was in my early thirties, and I was working for Varian Associates as Canadian Sales Manager for their electron device group. I got a chance to go to England with one of our customers to visit one of Varian’s factories and attend a broadcast conference in Wembley. Remember, I’m a British

The Stolen Car

Posted on August 2, 2010 by Chris Cane

Most of the stories that I’ve told have the real names of the people involved. For this one I think I’ll change the names to protect the guilty. For many years I was a sales manager for an electronics company in Canada. The company and its location are really not important parts of this tale

Trying to do the docent thing!

Posted on May 20, 2010 by Chris Cane

It was about a month ago that I was at the Columbus Zoo with the the family. It was a warmish day and I decided after seeing several regions of the world and their animals that I’d take a rest in Australia. I opted to sit on a bench in the shade at the Koala

The Mounties – We Get Our Man!

Posted on December 19, 2009 by Chris Cane

I probably should have called this post “Those infernal revenooers!” We flew south for a holiday in the spring of 1971 which was our second spring in Goose Bay. Upon our return, we took a taxi from the airport to our home to find “crime scene” tape on our front and back doors and a
