1. Before I started hitch-hiking, I attended school in New Brunswick. In the early 1960s Civil Defense Drill, the teacher would suddenly scream out 'Air Attack! Duck and Cover!' Where were children supposed to 'duck and cover'? in a huddle around the teacher run home to safety under their desks in the corner of the room

2. When people in the USA and Canada think of NORAD they probably think of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado Springs, USA. But did you know on a smaller scale we had one here in Canada? Where would this be? Cornwallis, Nova Scotia North Bay, Ontario Cold Lake, Alberta Esquimalt, British Columbia

3. When you are on the road you will find out pizza shops are good for handouts or a day job. Some folks don't like this topping which can be ordered on your pizza to give it a extra salty taste. But did you know it's also found in Worcester Sauce? What ingredient am I thinking of? Anchovies Squirrel Squares Pineapple Chum

4. Odds are you would have to find a few jobs between destinations on your hitch-hiking travels. A day job could turn into week or more. A great Canadian singer wrote a song about his experience on a tobacco farm. Any idea who this person is who sang about priming (picking) tobacco in Tillsonburg, Ontario? Norm Hacking Gordon Lightfoot Mickey P Stompin' Tom Connors

5. Now this place has saved my life a few times. All you needed was enough money for one coffee and the rest was somehow free. What was the name of this 24 hour heaven-sent restaurant, gas bar, and highway truck stop with the huge Canadian flag? Rimmer Restaurants Tim Hortons Husky House Restaurant Subway

6. I suppose I could brag and say I actually met this courageous young man with an artificial leg, but that would be stretching it, though he did say 'hello'. In 1980 he was running his Marathon of Hope across Canada, when he passed this lone hitch-hiker (me) west of Sudbury, Ontario. What was the runner's name? Larry Fox Gary Fox Terry Fox Barry Fox

7. It's a good thing I didn't have this disease when I was hitch-hiking on the road. I have Type 2 Diabetes, I take pills to control (hopefully) my blood sugar. According to the Canadian Diabetes Society four out of five people who have diabetes will die from what? Creutzfelt Jacob Disease Heart Disease Hypertrichosis Cancer

8. The residents of this town just north of Toronto, Ontario, take their dead or dying trees and carve the tall stumps into 'statues' instead of just cutting them down and hauling them away! What town am I talking about? Orangeville Dundalk Shelburne Keiraville

9. Sometimes I get lucky. Or stupid. I once got a fast job unloading some supplies in British Columbia. To help me out the 'boys' would give me a lift on this rubber raft, and let me out downstream in a 'better' spot to hitch hike. So I joined a few other people and went on this little trip down the Fraser River. What activity did I get myself into? fishing off the dock kayaking canoing whitewater rafting

10. At the ranch in DeWinton, Alberta I used this handy machine which cut hay, straw, or other crops and played them out in a straight row behind the machine to dry. Any idea what it was called? a swather ( windrower) a spreader a skidder a tiredmum ( an automatic hay stacker)
