I must say that I keep my hair very short, and prior to enter the water, I make sure that there is as little air as much as possible inside the hood by rubbing my hands from the top down, to minimize the amount of water that comes into the hood. - -------- Vive le Quebec Libre! (C. De Gaulle, Montreal, 1967) -------- - .... is english Canada's continued debasement of quebecers reputations and the all-too willing nature of the English media to portray [Quebec] as a crumbling banana republic.
