Boys will be boys. :) The navy might have returned fire. I don't think I'd want to be hit with a bag of shit propelled from a six-inch gun. LOL Hahahah! Boys will be boys. :)

Manitoba sounds like a lovely part of the world. Living in a city, even the greener suburbs, can be claustrophobic occasionally, so being somewhere open can be rejuvenating. The twenty-something lifestyle in Peterborough sounds pretty much like Australian country living. Were you guys planning to storm a castle with the trebuchet? :) Oh, Red Storm Rising is a great read imo. It’s great that you managed to meet Lawrence after all this time.
