    Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

    Speaking of which, is there a decent hospital in
    YK? Lilli is thinking of a far north trip in the
    heat of the summer, but decent urgent health care
    is a must.

    We have a brand new $350M state of the art 300,000 sq ft hospital
    with twice the number of staff as the old one. And for the odd
    thing that still isn't covered here such as oncology there's fast
    (75 minutes) Learjet medevac to Edmonton. (She should probably check
    that her insurance covers air ambulance, just in case.)

    Peachee Naib / and Roslind became close friends and they
    exchanged recipes while Ravi and I drank his scotch.

    What was their line of business?

    He is a family physician (GP), trained in London, where he developed
    a taste for scotch and G&Ts. She didn't work outside the home while
    they were here.

    None of our Desi friends and acquaintances are recent immigrants
    directly from the Indian sub-continent. They are all from England,
    Trinidad, Kenya, Mauritius, Calgary and Toronto.

    Red Snapper Bloody Mary

    I have one additional secret ingredient.

    A drop of bitters, perhaps.

    It's horseradish actually. Young Charlee was proud and happy to
    make Caesars for her mom and step dad when she was quite little. I
    told her that she made the second best ones in the country so
    naturally she wanted to know who made the very best ones and how. I
    told her it was my broker Rod and later on I whispered to her that I
    saw him use horseradish. Now she too makes the best ones in the
    country!


    Cheers

    Jim
