U.S. cars are dual-labeled so that they can be sold in Canada also.

Indeed not. In the center of the continent (near the U.S.-Canadian border), the annual temperature swing is -40 to 35. (That's -40 F to 95 F.) Save for Siberia, North America must have the worst overall climate on the planet, compounded by very high humidities in the parts where most people live. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.
