If the current trend continues, I give it about three months before all
y'all are paying us a premium to buy Canadian dollars. That will be
nice, just in time for diving next spring...

:^) I don't care about *your* suff'rin.

I do care that when *I* need to buy US dollars for my dive vacations, it
will only cost *me* $1160 Cdn for $1000 US. I'll be really happy when it
costs me $850. :^)

Thanks George, I think I will. The lower it goes the more trips I can take.
;^)

Doesn't seem like it was all that long ago, I was paying over $1.50 Cdn for
$1 US.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Scuba2000. Karl was a top pledge
collector for one of their charity events.
Maybe he's looking for some help to win one of their currently running
contests?

Inquiring minds want to know. Why, Priscilla . . .why do you want us to
write to Karl?

Sounds like a heck of a deal. The exchange rate is going up fast, but
I'm not quite sure its going up that fast...
