Another little step in getting settled here in Manitoba: find a pharmacy, have them call Hay River and transfer my prescriptions.

Pharmacy dude: So where are we transferring them from?

Me: Ring's Pharmacy, Hay River, Northwest Territories.

Pharmacy: North-west-ter-ri-to-ies? Well that's a first.

Me: Oh?

Pharmacy: It's like, in Yellowknife, right?

Me: No, Yellowknife is the capital, and Hay River is 480 km away on the other side of the big lake.

Pharmacy: (totally loses interest) So what's the phone number?
