I suppose so! LoL.
My class went well last week. Have another one this week. That's all that matters really. I'm also having lunch with Zardoz tomorrow at O'Neil's. Definitely looking forward to that.

Well now, things are looking up. At least you'll be kilted. Don't forget to wear a big hat and cowboy boots. You wouldn't want to stand out in the crowd . Yippee-ki-yay, ya'll.

Well I hope the rest of your time there is better, but that does stink.

For those who may be coming to Canada, try not to get arrested.
Double-check this with a lawyer but if the cop tells you to stay put, or do anything that is not obviously illegal, do it. They have an interesting twist that they can now arrest you for that, and not necessarily the original issue.
The also have three days to tell you what you have been arrested for (remember Olsen, the police changed the charge every two days so they could keep him, huge abuse of civil rights but...?)
Don't want people to get the wrong idea of Canada, obviously there is some confusion on that up here. That's because we're all law abiding and don't need to know.
Unfortunately, that sort of confirms my impression of the US, at least Texas. I think they can smell that at the border, that's why I get such a hard time.
Really hope that the rest of your visit goes better.

I understand your frustration my young friend. But IF you were told the truth about it all, and I hope you were, I am sure you can understand. Given the same job to do & the same set of cercumstances you may have had to do the same thing. I truly hope they were actually trying to do a good job & not just singling you & the other fellow out.
BTW - Nigeria - that brings back fond memories. I used to play futball & our striker was a Nigerian fellow. A good friend. And very dangerious on the pitch. He could :buttkick:

You should have been wearing a kilt, then they would have said, "Oh this can't be the "bad" guy, he wouldn't or never would wear a kilt." ha ha
DALE.
You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!

Not the one to wear when crossing the border, you think?
