   Coffee, interesting. Maybe it is because we fly in. We go to the Vancouver and for the past 7-8 years we have had to have a passport. We had not gone to Canada before that so don’t know when it started.
   We have always had some of the nicest and funniest agents on those trips. We were visiting with one Canadian agent while we were in line waiting. Out of the blue he said, “What was the name of Robert E Lee’s horse?” My husband is a civil war buff and without blinking an eye, he answered “Traveller”. The agent was impressed–

   I have never flown into Canada, but that may have been why. I know that now we have to show it all the time

   Yes, I am for border security. Just wish they would focus on the southern border.

   I wish you were kidding. Fort Meade has been doing that for years. One of the main reason I use WiFi on a shared net with 120 other campers.

   Good morning 66. In the spirit of 66 here is a song for Coffee–a great rendition of a classic bluegrass song. You have to get passed a bit of JOan London, but worth the wait.http://www.last.fm/music/The+Beatles/_/Good+Morning+Good+Morning

    Love that song. That is def from my era–an era of great music. Seems like yesterday until I write 2013 on a ck. Sadly classmates are passing away more frequently. Just got an email about a classmate who has inoperable throat cancer and is in hospice care. I haven’t seen her since we graduated so my memory of her is as she was then–a good memory to hold onto.

    1966 ,

    Hope your Minnesota weather isn’t making your teeth chatter.

    @usnavy,
    Shot guns are good but do to much damage to the house or someone close by

    Ours is single gauge . I thought of that damage, but, will only use a baseball bat, or, bug spray, myself. Besides, we are within one minute of our Association police force.Yet, I’m not foolish enough to not realize one can be dead in less than one minute, something security alarm companies don’t stress. My temperament is flawed. I carry spiders outside., but, lo & behold , if a pest does more than a minimal munch in my gardens.

    While we haven’t seen a great deal in the U.S. papers, Canadian papers has been highlighting the U.S. land grab attempts of the U.N. ,‘Project 21.’

    Local Governments for Sustainability, formerly known as ICLEI, the International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives has been quite successful since 1992, when U.N. Agenda 21 was adopted, in infiltrating and recruiting local governments to do their bidding. When Americans exposed their plans, they have changed their name. Their main goal is to control zoning and land use.

    That video was cut short. Anyway, Rick Wakeman’s piano play was what made it great, IMO.

    @dd I have a friend who is deeply concerned about Agenda 21. She send info often. It is given little coverage and is embraced by many. It looks like a slow moving steamroller heading toward us.
    Love GB–he has been right more than he has been wrong. So glad to see him flourishing in his new enterprise.

    Entering into Canada changed after 9/11/2001.

    I live on an island in the middle of the Detroit river. Canada is to the east of us. We used to be able to take our boat over to Canada and have dinner with only making a call to Canada customs when we arrived.
    You have to give a 24 hour notices now and you have to meet a Canada agent on the dock in Canada and you have to meet with a U.S. agent on your return trip.

    Boating on the water has become a problem too. Boater used to freely go back and forth in US and Canadian waters. It’s not like there is a line. However you can’t do that anymore. If you are going into Canadian waters you are to call both US and Canadian customs. Every boater is told to get a nexus card. It’s a step down from a passport. Allowing you to move in between the two countries easier. You need to have your nexus and birth cert. with you on your boat. We have friend with houses on the river in Canada. It used to be quicker to take our boat to their home a 20 minute boat ride. But we can’t do that now. We have to boat to a custom station, then we can go to our friends home. It’s quicker to take the hour drive to the bridge in Detroit.

    I’ve crossed the bridge to Canada at least monthly starting in 1986. We always had our birth cert. in the car but were rarely asked for it. Before 9/11/2001, I never had an agent look into my car. Even when I had done shopping and been in Canada for two days to a week.

    Since 9/11/2001, I always have to some my licence and birth cert and my nexus card. Some for everyone in the car. My car is checked by an agent 50% of the time now.
    The Canadian agents are smarter the American’s. The Canadian’s use the dogs to smell the hockey bags.

    When governments go into taxing “bad things”, they don’t really hope or expect to drive demand down.
    As tobacco sales fall, state budget suffers (the article is almost 1 year old, but it illustrates the point – and I’ve seen recent anti-smoking ads on TV reminding people “not to smoke”)
