How far north are you going?
Just to the Peace Region, Grande Prairie, AB and Fort St John, BC. We used to live in both places

How far north are you going?
I have only been as far north in BC as Dawson Creek. Drove through on my way from Grouard to Victoria. I lived in Sexsmith for four months.
LOL. We have a surfeit of "Daves" at work, two of whom have the same last initial. And guess which stupid ape referenced "Dave (last initial)" in an email this morning instead of spelling it out?![]()
We have one David who hates being called "Dave" so that helps. Still leaves us with three Daves, though (down from four at one point). Back when we hired the third one, I was immediately put in mind of this song.We have three Peters at No Frills, none of whom will consent to answering to Pete...
In my school days (70s-80s), David/Dave was irritatingly common. At least 3 in every class from Grade 1 to 13. OTOH, Little M (00s-10s) only knew one David and he was a Chinese immigrant who had adopted it as his English name. His "real" name was Chinese and I don't even know it offhand.One class I had (25-30 students) - 2 Heathers, 2 Samanthas, 3 Jamies (at least there was spelling differences) plus a James.
It's fairly common in my age range too although Chris and Mike are more popular. David is probably 3rd or 4th is my guess. James is up there too.In my school days (70s-80s), David/Dave was irritatingly common. At least 3 in every class from Grade 1 to 13.

Sexsmith is less I retesting than the agricultural research centre at Beaverlodge. Dunvegan Crossing is way more interesting
I visited Dunvegan in 1973 so much has probably changed
