    Not as sexy as transplanted Swedes, but Canada is a big country
    I have such fond memories from Saskatchewan of softball sized hail and grasshopper guts coating my motorcyle engine. Ah, the aroma of cooked bugs.

    Spinney Hill after Captain Spinney of course.

    Spinney

    Pronunciation: 'spi-nE
    Function: noun
    Inflected Form(s): plural spinneys
    Etymology: Anglo-French espinei thorny thicket, ultimately from Latin spinetum, from spina thorn
    chiefly British : a small wood with undergrowth

    I grew up on the rolling plains near the North Saskatchewan River. Bluffs of trees on the hillsides reminded one of my forfathers of "spinneys" back in jolly ol' England (where there is also a Spinney Hill in Leicester).

    There. I knew you were just DYING to know that.

    Can't say that I'm familiar with the Good Captain Haven't heard that one, and there is no "town" as such - never was. There was a post-office/general store at a crossroads (very Robert Johnson-ish ) but it has been gone for 20 years or more. The train depot was just a siding where they would pick up and drop off and it was about 4 miles from the store. It's a tight little farming community with your nearest neighbors sometimes 4 or 5 miles away. The little one-room school house a la Laura Ingalls Wilder was in use 1905-1963 (my Grandma was in the first grade 1 class) and is now used as a community center/hall. I can remember lots and lots of parties and dances and late night jam sessions that went until the sun came up (or the bar went dry)! Everyone seemed to play something. Very Appalachian, fiddles, banjos, guitars, harmonicas... spoons!! (I got my start in the rhythm section - then moved to bass).

    Ahhh... good times. Good times.

    Spud, give me a shout if you're ever brave enough to attempt another trek up my way!

    Speaking of Floriduh, I'm from Gainesville, home of the Fightin' Gators! [For you Euro's, that is the name of the University of Florida's athletic teams, who are currently doing very well-- two consecutive national college championships in basketball, with a national championship in (American) football in between. "'Gator" is southern slang for "alligator," which we have plenty of here.]

    I almost met Kerc in Puerto Rico awhile back, but the cell phone gods did not cooperate.
