#2 in Canada

[Page]

I take umbrage at your silly comments about Canada. There are several 
wonderful beaches in the Vancouver area. As to to beach reading, I would not 
consider any book by OBA as beaching reading. If IV were strictly taken as a 
"beach read," then the reader would necessarily be missing the heart of the 
book. Of course, one might do a quick read on a beach with the intention of 
giving it one's full and uninterrupted concentration. However, that would 
not qualify as a beach read. Canada might not be a great place for wind 
surfing, but the west coast in a marvelous place to sail. Not a stinkpot, 
but a real boat with masts and sails.

However, we agree that the top-heavy bikini women are not particularly 
interesting. Cannot help but think about the long-term effects of gravity. 
And the Great Lakes are great places to sail.
