Not surprising considering where you live, Dave.  In this part of South
Carolina, it is not normal to get snow/ice ever, much less snow that
sticks around for a few days.  And today it was 80°F outside.  I had to
turn on the AC.

You are assuming that I would want to.  FWIW, it would not be impossible
for me to move to the US. My son has been doing the research and is
pushing my wife to get hers. He had been going though family documents
and found that her father had registered her at birth as an American
citizen born abroad.  Apparently all she has to do is to apply for
citizenship and she will get it. She can go to the American consulate
and get an American passport.  She won't, but she could.

I was joking when I inquired about how Canadians would feel to have
their country stolen from them. What I've been hearing is that Canada
being the 51st state would be a very great thing for them and the
Canadians wouldn't mind that at all. Well okay then.
OTOH, 50 should be set as the maximum number of states allowed at one
time. My modest suggestion is that the states be thrown out of the union
as space is needed for places like Iceland, Canada, or Puerto Rico, etc.
We should start with the Southernmost states first since they never
wanted to be part of the union anyway. Hawaii would have to be the first
state tossed but we don't mind doing out part to make America great
again. We'd need to have a pretty sizable dowry, of course.
