[dba-Tech] Dull and Boring to become twin cities

I used to live in Esquimalt! You fargin' icehole! Plus I pinged the bell in
Victoria, and also lived on the beautiful beach called Wreck. Plus ate some
exquisite fish in Tofino. Those were some of the finest moments of my life.
I even know how to pronounce Ucuelet. (Pretty funny Google-right-click on
that word. I'll leave it to you to investigate, but the first hit was
"clueless" LOL.

Victoria, Uclulet and Tofino remain some of my fave places on this planet.
But this summer my sister and I are going to Nahanni national park,
possibly the most beautiful place in the world. We'll have to fly in to the
nearest location, and then canoe for a couple of days, but this is my last
wish. I have visited Nahanni virtually several times, but with my last
dying gasps I want to do it for real.

Since this is a group populated by citizens of many countries (and thank
you all for that!), you might not know what Nahanni is. That's OK, I'm not
busting you for not knowing the most beautiful place on the planet. Au
contraire! I am inviting you to come see this. It's expensive to get there,
so instead you can visit virtually by clicking this and then wandering as
your spirit moves you. You shall not be disappointed.

Here is a link to a bunch of pages about the most beautiful place in the
world.

I hope that link works. If not, just Google Nahanni, and be prepared for
WOW.

It's not cheap to get there. You have to hire a plane, and then canoe for
about a day. Which is a good thing, IMO. It keeps the riff-raff out. You
have to express a commitment to see such a beautiful place. And then once
you have done so, you will hold its memory very close to your chest, and
whisper in your most cherished and secret moments, "I was there!"
