Mark,

Sorry to hear about your hassles in crossing the border. After 40 years of 
crossing the border I have been rudely accosted by 'both sides'. On the other 
hand it has been an extremely good experience, as well.

Once I threatened with the confiscation of an aircraft I landed at Fort 
Francis, Ontario.

A couple of years ago I turned around to see a young lady going through my 
geriatric influenced shaving kit without surgical gloves.

The best experiences I have had when I had a Triumph perched on a single axle 
trailer going to or from Mosport. Or crossing the border in my TR3A. 

On the other stuff, I try to maintain good humor and be thankful I dont live 
somewhere else.  I like having Canada as a neighbor too much to let some 
summer student fill in who is taking his/her job too seriously.
