bounce58 @bounce58 (17380) • Canada 29 Sep 10

van_city10 I really dont think there's much more hope for hockey in the US to get any more popular. I live in Canada, but have a lot of friends in the US, and most of them dont even realize that the US has a team in the Olympics. Maybe theyre all a little slow, but maybe...

van_city10 If you want a good camera, with a great price, to start out doing some photography...go with the Nikon D60, 15-70mm lens kit. Its a great starter camera kit, with a lot of good features to start with.
