Move To Canada — Temporarily!!!

Recently, a Lendle user lent me a copy of The Illustrated Complete Works of H. P. Lovecraft; but when i went to download it from Amazon, the site told me i was not allowed to—due to copyright restrictions, or some such crap—because i lived in the United States.  What nonsense!

Maybe if i lived in Canada (where Lendle is based), i could download it OK.  So i pulled up Google maps and found a good place to stay:  Les Suites Hotel, 130 Besserer Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 9M9, Canada (complete with a telephone number, 613-232-2000).

So i took a virtual trip to Ottawa, changed my address at Amazon, and Voila! i successfully downloaded the book moments later.  A little while later, i decided to end my Canada jaunt and changed my address back to the United States.  A short trip to far away!

(At first i was going to use the Ottawa address of an evil ex- of mine; but i couldn't remember it exactly, and an ad popped up on the map page for Les Suites Hotel just down the road—perfect!  And i extend my thanks to them for the brief stay.)

Solving problems can be fun!
