Do they have "time" way up above the forty sixth parallel?  I mean in a
sense that we who live way down here just above the forty fifth might
understand the word?

I finally looked up where North Bay is.  Somehow I had developed a notion
that it was way, way north instead of below the Western U.S./Canadian
border.

How does one pronounce "Nosbonsing" and why was it so called?
