Bruce,
So no-one, not even your wife, questioned the purpose of you dragging an old tyre all the way from Iqaluit to Ontario? I tried to look it up on google maps but it could not work the distance or mode of transportation to get there. Another source says it is 1702 km. as the crow flies
The above is a bit tongue in cheek of course - I am sincere when I say: thanks for saving this piece of memorabilia.
