   wunderbar! and the bear would be good for the cottage.

   China? almost certainly; the genuine gnomes are from Germany.

   Wikipedia: These figurines originate in 19th century Germany, where they became known as Gartenzwerg (literally “garden dwarf”). The application of the term gnome in English is first attested in the 1930s.

   Slocan Valley eh? Wow no wonder you like VW vans. Say hello to the Selkirks and the Valhallas for me.

   Oh man!

   These tractor driving gnomes are everywhere. But a life sized lawn guy in a leather jacket! Dude buy one and get me one too-if there are any left.

   One of these fellows has an uncanny resemblance to WK.

   All right, I’m gonna go there– I have to show up at an SFH concert some time because this guy is actually pretty hot. Sorry, had to say it.

   Don’t you think gnomes look like Jim Flaherty?
