@badradger saidMaple syrup is expensive here too and we make the stuff.
maple syrup over here costs ££££££££ cheap ones are corrupted with corn oil.
I too have many near death experiences here is one that doesn't involve the entity I was talking about in another forum with goad.
I was a young man in my early 20's and into old cars, probably because that was all I could really afford. Well I had this old Plymouth forget what year it was now.
Anyway I am driving along the high way and all of a sudden I had no steering. Being young and stupid I hit the break as hard as I could instead of letting the car slow itself down and come to a stop. Well the car took a hard turn to the right lucky for me as left would have put me into on coming traffic.
Right wasn't so good either as there was a really steep bank that went down about 50-60 feet. All I can see are two big trees at the bottom and thought to myself this is the way I go. Well as you all know you didn't get that lucky because here I am today. The car lodged it self as perfect as could be right between the two trees. I had to roll down a window to get out. Other than a few scratches and bruises I was fine.
A lady that was driving behind me had stopped to see how I was as she was driving behind me. She said I was scared I was going to find you dead. She was nice enough to give me a drive home. Turned out a tie rod end had let go that I had been told about and let go until the following week after that I never let a repair go undone, even if they tell me I have so long to get it fixed I have it done right away.
