Haven't seen that since I was a kid. Just in time for my vacation in Washington State.

I'm sure the US Govt. will be just thrilled over this announcement. I'm not sure they ever expected a Chinese company to arrive at the auction with large gobs of cash. They should have, all that money we've spent on cheap toys etc.. had to come back sometime. I'm happy for Alberta in their prosperity, I benefit too, but I'm starting to get a little alarmed over how many oil sands projects are going ahead.
