Calgary here. Jan and Feb has been meh. Oct, Nov and Dec were unusually nice though

You're fortunate. This person wasn't. It was one of those mini ATM's you see everywhere at pubs, gas stations, hotels, etc. It had a bill holder because once it dispenses cash, it can't take it back.

My greatest high was finding $400 in an ATM last year. Thousands of people had passed by it, and I was going to withdraw $100 from it. Didn't need to after double checking. I even looked around in case there was someone nearby. Nope. Just $400 staring me in the face as if to say "I think you need me more than the person who withdrew me."

I would be willing to send you some Canadian KD without reciprocation. I like ours better. Tried the US stuff when I was in CT. THANKS BUT NO THANKS. I can probably ship it from CT after I import it through US Pre-Clearance at Pearson Intl. next month. I used to do the same with Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke, until they finally started selling it here.

Which reminds me... I need to stock up on Foxon Park Birch Beer while I'm in CT next month. That stuff is virtually impossible to get here in Canada.
