Heh, just a little tanker at that time eh? ;D ;D ;D ;D I remember it well. I had a satellite dish back at that time with near unlimited access to most channels. Good thing too, cause cable was unavailable where I was and TV watching with rabbit ears didn't even work(yeah, although I lived just outside a town(Sussux, N.B.) at that time, the reception was lousy. Heh, even had a moose go wandering past the house 1 afternoon, to say nothing of nightly singing by 2 rival packs of coyotes(1 directly behind the house, the other on the far hill across from the house - used to watch them with the binoculers) Pity I didn't know ya back then Azis, you'd have had a FIELD day photographing all the critters in the area. Of course it didn't last. 3 months after we'd moved up there and bought the place, the plant I'd started working with shut down due to a strike, which lasted better than 6 months. By the time it was over, we'd lost so much business to rival companies we only lasted a year before closing for good. Suffice it to say, in a remote area like that, there wasn't much alternative work to be found. Hard to believe it's only been a year and a half that my family and I are finally back in a house of our own. It was a tough ride, that's why I can relate to your situation, man.
Beware my dark side......oh! Hi Dark.
