Here’s something you could do for me

Next time you are in Nelson, B.C., or some other Canadian community…

Stop a dozen or 20 different strangers on the sidewalk and ask, “Can you tell that I am an American?”

I would be interested in your findings.

I’d do it myself, but I’m still recovering from having spent a few days walking around Seattle wearing a big pink button that said “I Know Spokane…ASK ME!”

Sure, that was in a previous century. But I still have occasional nightmares about it.
