"One should doubtless keep an open mind...though open at both ends, like the food pipe, and have a capacity for excretion as well as intake." -- Northrop Frye, 'The Great Code'

Voted off the island
This is my last post from Victoria. We voted ourselves off the island.
Hunter, Mostly just feeling "bushed". Any trip off the Island and back is about 8 hours. Travelling to/from ferries, waiting at the ferry terminal and 3 hours on the ferry.
Now I'm 5 minutes from the border, 40 mins from downtown Vancouver and 1/2 a day closer to Alberta.
You're right Halfwise, the bigger "island" is called North America.
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis

Why? Where are you headed?
Good luck!
I hope to hear from you once you're settled in your new location!
Hey, chances are that you are just moving to a bigger island.
