Ok math protege's, here we go. I'm located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Yep, sittin' right on top of all that oil with refinery row just over yonder and here is the reality of living with Canadian fuel taxes. Price for premium $1.04 per litre. 1 US gallon = 3.7854 litres. Oh, and don't forget that nasty exchange rate of 0.89128 (as of today) to give you the US dollar equivalent of $3.37. Or about $3.94 Canadian for each US gallon. Ouch. A fill up costs me about $62.00. Is it any wonder my SVX has seen only seen 57,600 miles?

I can speak Arabic. If you know that Arabic Englished language spoken here in the Middle East, you should be able to translate this:

Bipa, this gas price is only found in the Middle East (for my knowledge). The Omani rial for example is worth 3 US dollars. Their currency is so powerful that people there live a tax free life. That guy seems to be living in the middle east, well he mentioned something about speaking Arabic...

Heh.... typical car crazy guy, assuming I mean pics of the cars.
Actually, I was thinking of these pics Since you've published them, I don't think you'll be too upset if I link one here


apparently that's you in Bosnia?

I don't mind. I don't make publically available pictures that cannot be released to the public. Most of the pictures from here (sandbox) I jsut photoshop stuff out so they are safe to post and post them.

That was me in Bosnia back in 2004 prior to the TOA Ceremony. Not a bad tour there. It was a little frustrating that most of the Soldiers I was responsible for outranked me and many did not want to do the right thing. Overall it was a chanllenging and rewarding tour though.
