Yes, the traditional lore behind the term "south-paw" is that at some baseball
stadium or other (I believe it was wherever the Dodgers played when they were
in Brooklyn - I'm not big on baseball), a pitcher's left arm would be to the 
south and some sports writer coined the term to refer to left-handed pitchers.
It is one of those phrases that no one really knows for sure how it got started
and probably is also distinctly American.

by a Canadian (SURPRISE!).  That's right folks, Alex was a Canuck, and by that

I hope you didn't take offense at this post.  It was only meant in good
fun.  I'm left-handed and people are always jokingly telling me that I
do everything backwards, so when I saw your "backwards" smiley (*),
I just thought that I'd jokingly ask if you were left-handed.

(*) Most people seem to orient their smileys like ":-)" instead of like
"(-:".

By the way, a "south-paw" is someone who is left-handed.
I think the term originated from baseball, but I'm not absolutely
sure about this.  If anyone out there knows the details of the origin
of the term "south-paw" please enlighten us.  Thanks.

Cheers,
Mike

You are mostly correct.  As I understand it, most traditional baseball diamonds 
are build with homeplate pointing due West.  And therefore a pitcher's arm
would be pointing to the south, and hence the term "south-paw"

relax, calm down,
its only reality creeping
creeping, creeping up on
you very slowly.

the "Husky Tower" hasn't been called that since the mid 70s. 
It is now the Calgary Tower. 
Other important attractions include:
	- Heritage Park (how could you miss this? it is a must!)
	- Calaway Park (theme/ride park)
	- Canada Olympic Park (museum) and The Olympic Oval 
  	  (Calgary hosted the winter olympics, remember?)
	- Centre of Performing Arts - lots of plays etc, CPO (Mario Bernardi)
	- the people! probably the friendliest city around, just
	  talk to one of the many smilers on LRT someday, you'll see.
	- nice Coffee Joints; large # of restaurants per capita (700,000 pop)
	- the cleanest city you'll see unless you go to Singapore!
	  great urban planning -- practically surrealistic, when viewed
	  from the plains. 
	- good cycling/walking path system, incl through several parks...
	- hot air ballooning: practically always some in the sky on clearer days.
	- amazingly beautiful chinooks in winter ; sunny sky in general; milder
  	  winters by Canadian standards (and not much rain).

I loved living in Calgary. If short on time, this should be your only stop
of note, IMO, on the prairies. 

Later.
