No problems at our end.
Now be honest Astreja ... it's not all smelling like roses up here.
When our hospitals are full in BC

we send our patients to Washington (or even worse Alberta)... but you are right, the patient still does not pay (at least not much).

So Buzz, the point is don't fear what you don't know.
