It is indeed, but 21 years in a small town in the middle of nowhere you begin to go insane when you run out of things to do, even our drunken shenanigans are starting to get lame.
not to mention I have been to every landmark in this Provence.

Brantford, Ontario, Canada. Been here my whole life, and I ain't got no intention of leaving.
Except that one time in 06-07 for about nine months. And that time I'll be over in Afghanistan/whereever we end up after that, if the training takes too long.
We used to be an economic centre of the province, but now, we're just a big shithole.
The only point of pride I would say is our long-standing military history.

Let me rephrase that , I strongly advise against it unless your willing to drive as far north as you can...if you can get through the shit storm of people first.

This year has been ridiculous hot, +40 for the win, we have about a inch of snow now tho its been about -3 so far, not sure how cold it will get.
