Come on - tell us which one ... (just finished on one, drop me an email and
I might be able to tell you special secrets I shouldn't let on unless they

business with a turkish girl, her husband, a mexican girl and a lad who
spent way too much time in Texas ... (maybe)

Nah, closer to Ottawa - Hamilton's about a 5.5 hour drive from here, though
I've been there several times when I lived in Toronto (Which is only about
