Todd - several years ago a group of RVs flew up to salmon arm, BC for their airshow.  when i arrived a guy on an ATV guided me to the parking area.  he had a broken leg and his crutch was strapped to his vehicle.  he passed us off to another who was directing us where to park.  this guy had no fingers on one hand.  "damn, these canadians are tough!".  i later learned, over beers of course, that he had spent several days at -40 degrees in a cessna that went down in whiteout conditions waiting for rescue.  he froze his fingers off in the ordeal.  so after hearing your story i hope you don't mind, but the stereotype and remark still holds.    kevin
