Okay, remember my web page on how to pass for Canadian? I have to update it tomorrow. Two reasons: one, I still have to insert a reference to the Tragically Hip in the music section. Two...

Two. Yes. Er. Down towards the bottom of that page I make the following comment:

"Canadians generally know things like, oooh, which of the provinces have access to the ocean and which don't, whereas most Americans could probably be made to say that you get real fine surfing in Alberta. (Hint: this is the equivalent of asking for the vast sandy deserts of Maine.)"

Today I got the following email:

i'm sure you've received this link. they're not "vast", but regarding deserts of maine--

http://www.desertofmaine.com

i need to visit your country (besides niagara falls)

Visitors find it difficult to imagine among the rolling hills and rambling brooks at the end of Desert Rd. there is a Desert. Once you take your first step through the gift shop's front door, however, your doubts will vanish as you enter the vast and sandy DESERT of MAINE.

Bwah???
