How I have missed you expedition reports, Robyn! I think I sometimes have more fun reading them than I do on the actual expedition! :D Thepiguy 05:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Heh, no church indeed. There's something wacky with the Google Maps business/organization/etc labelling around Squamish. I first noticed this a few months ago when it found me a very conveniently placed but clearly illegal and imaginary Taco Bell. Yangman 08:55, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Heh. It did not look like a church to me when I looked at the sat images, and was rather curious about how you all agreed on a holy hash. :) Does it have a label somewhere that I may have missed? -- relet 13:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah, got it. Well, this site would agree with google maps, too. But other maps (like bing.com) point at one of the two large buildings at the North end of the road when given that address. -- relet 13:11, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and you seem to have some smarter laws than we do. Ours just prohibit cellphone usage while handheld, which leaves you effectively free to shave, brush your teeth, program the navi and talk on the phone (with a headset) at the same time. -- relet 13:08, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually, as long as your razor and toothbrush are not electronic, the GPS and radio are dashboard-mounted, and you have passed the stage two driving test (we have graduated licences) the scenario you describe would probably be legal in BC too. New drivers aren't allowed to use cellphones at all, but experienced ones may use a hands-free device. You could, however, be charged with distracted driving for anything from doing your hair to nursing your infant.

How you pronounce '7'

For those interested, the '7' in the signs represents a glottal stop (eg. the sort of pause in "uh-oh", ie: "uh7oh"). - Elbie 05:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
