First Steps
Some time ago Fran and I got slightly lost on the Trans-Canada Trail. We met a couple of tourists from Louisiana who were also confused. But while we had food, water, proper clothing and all the time in the world to find ourselves, our new friends were poorly shod, in pain (one of them had fallen) and feeling abandoned by the bus driver who had dropped them off in the wilds of a foreign land. We eventually found our car and took the couple to the Seabus which ferried them back to their hotel. A few days later they e-mailed us this cartoon from their local paper.

Your tourists may have found that cartoon while they were still in Canada. Backbench is a regular feature in the Globe and Mail, a Toronto paper. That makes the coincidence even more surprising. (So what's with Fran's left arm?)

I found out that Graham Harrop is the name of the cartoonist who draws "Backbench." There is a Graham Harrop living 10 minutes from me. I wonder if he's the same one. I hope he doesn't mind my borrowing his cartoon. (Yes, Fran does have a disarming smile!)

I'm telling this because he uses his herbal medicine to cure me from hepatitis B and HIV, which I have been living on for 9 months now with no side effects. Herbal Medicine is just as good when drinking it although i have to use the restroom after drinking it which I don't really care about because i just want to get the virus out of my body, I will recommend Dr Itua to anyone sick out here to contact Dr Itua with this following information.

He might be late to respond because he is always busy with patents, but he will surely get back to you with a positive response.
