Also in Iowa, no street vacuums, but street sweepers.
And, if the strip clubs are full nude they have to be BYOB, right? So they call them juice bars? I'm on the Iowa/Illinois border, and everyone heads "across the river" to go to the Illinois strip clubs.
There is more construction going on here than in any other place I have ever seen.
You must never have been to Alaska, then. The reason for all the construction is because winter frost heaves and ice do a number on the pavement, so they have to repair it in the summer, or the roads would just be all torn up.
Wait, strippers in clubs aren't fully nude in the states? What the hell is the point?
I think this varies by state. I know that in Michigan it's panties on (for example) - I lived in canada, across the Detroit river, and the city I was in had 652 strip clubs. Americans came over in droves to come to all-off clubs on the canadian side.
Near me, I think it's: NYC, nipple covers and panties on NJ, bras and panties on

My dog ate a black squirrel at my parents house once. She barfed up the pelt right before we went up to my apartment, and her digestive tract was not happy for the next 4 days. Neither was my carpet...
What? No way. I'm FROM there and I've never seen one. Oh god. They were hiding from me, weren't they? Those creepy ass rats with fuzzy tails, all grouped together in dark places. Watching me.
I know I'm late, but there were also black squirrels in Wisconsin. Those fuckers would hide in the garbage cans on campus and attack you if you put your hand too far into the can while throwing garbage away

OH!! I remembered something else about Canada! I was in Victoria a few years ago to watch our hockey team play. Before the game started EVERYONE sang the Star-Spangled Banner, and then, of course, they sang "Oh Canada". But that really really impressed me. Everyone knew the words!!
When Victoria played in Anchorage, I was like the only one singing "Oh Canada". lol

i didn't say that this was the *only* place you could go topless or that has those strip clubs. so we can all simmer on the 'but thisansthatplace has that', lol.
True. Though I did forget.. You can't drink alcohol in the strip clubs in WA. You can see some vag, but you can't get a cold one. How dumb is that?
You know who was hot? Che Guevara pre-guerilla get-up
But he was a crazy MF'er. I watched a great documentary on him, and I just can't figure out when/how he lost his sanity. How could he go from a caring medical student who wanted social justice and the best for the poorest outcasts to (paraphrasing), "I love the smell of burning flesh?"
the squirrels are dark black. And, there are crowns on everything, everywhere. Highway signs, coins, you name it.Â
AND, they vacuum the streets here. Literally. People ride around on little lawn mower thingies with large hoses dangling from the front, just sucking up all the street detritus.Â

My squirrels are brown and grey. Crowns are on Queen E's head on coins only and I've never seen a street vacuum. Street cleaner yes. Oh and we almost all in Victoria BC know the SSB and sing it at hockey games
Don't forget our weird queso! And it's not against the law to walk around topless.
Also - strip clubs are full nude. (a tidbit for your next visit).
If they are fully nude where does the money go? Do they carry a purse along? I'm serious, I need to know this.
Here in Oz they only have $1 and $2 coins, no small dollar bills. Bills start at $5. I'm thinking the strippers here have got to be making money if it starts at $5.

I always figured they throw loonies and toonies at the strippers. Canadian strippers are tough.
Oh, Rick Mercer told me that they also send their elderly out on ice floes, but that's a debate for another day.
Who's been to Cuba? What's that like? I'm watching a doc on Fidel right now.
I'm dying to go to Cuba. I hear it's gorgeous and not overrun with tourists. I'm sad I'll likely have to wait until the embargo is lifted to go.
I was in Cuba in January! I am also Canadian. It is gorgeous there. I only went to Varadero, but it was a great time. There are a lot of tourists, and most of them Canadian as well. The people are nice, but the food isn't so great, but that is not what I went there for anyway.
Beaches and drinks are never ending ahhhhhhhh rum punch how I miss you.
The Cuban food wasn't good in Cuba?! Cuban food is awesome in Florida. We have beaches and rum punch---I many not have to leave...
Yeah, I'm finding it hard to believe the did wasn't good on Cuba. Did you stay at a hotel/resort catering to foreigners and only eat there or something, bluetopaz ?
What? No way. I'm FROM there and I've never seen one. Oh god. They were hiding from me, weren't they? Those creepy ass rats with fuzzy tails, all grouped together in dark places. Watching me.
I went to college in DC and back when Facebook groups were all the rage, I belonged to our school's "Order of the Black Squirrel."

I went to AU for grad school and there are TONS of them in upper NW. They seem to be very localized though, I never say any when I lived on the Hill or in Alexandria.
NJ and PA are states where strip clubs can be fully nude if they don't serve alcohol (but you can BYOB -- people wheel in coolers of beer). Which has the bizarre consequence that if you're 18, you can go to a fully nude club, but you can't go to a topless only club that serves alcohol until you're 21. (Not sure about NY -- don't know of any BYOB places here).
In Canada you're allowed to touch the strippers though, right? I don't know of places in American where that's actually allowed (I mean, there are places where you can get away with things, but I think it is more a-ok in Canada?)
Summary of Cuba: gorgeous landscape, Havana is fascinating, rum is delicious, people are sad and yes, bluetopaz is correct, the food is terrible (I cannot emphasize this enough). They just don't have access to the same ingredients and spices they do in the US.
