(But that's >also a reflection on those damn yankees who abbreviate Canada to two letters) Okay, okay...so I'm not really single. In fact, someone with a wife and two sons can be considered about as far from single as one can get... Anyway, this reminded me of a letter I got from a fellow at TI in Texas. He addressed it to Bell-Northern Research Ottawa, Canada, K1Y 4H7 The route it took was obviously not unfamiliar to the postmaster in Canada, Kentucky, who has a stamp, which, in large block letters, in red ink, says: DOMINION OF CANADA (in case you didn't see it, "K1Y" was misinterpreted by the US Snail as an abbreviation for "Kentucky"...)
