Croft I've wanted to comment because, of course, I've disappeared from Michael Dickson's site as he blocked me about a year ago. I don't know what to do about Kiva other then to just keep lending.

She asked how long it would be and was told "8 minutes" so she had no money for the vending machines and no water for her or the dog who were both starving. Plus, she was under the blazing sun.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-84055691175985625812013-04-02T08:27:30.070-07:002013-04-02T08:27:30.070-07:00Wow!

I concur with your sentiments on border crossing into the USA. So much depends on the personality of the attending border guard.René and Jeanette Genereuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166865264538146835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-40921132609827113802013-04-01T21:41:36.134-07:002013-04-01T21:41:36.134-07:00Welcome to the excited states of America!

She sent this email:<br /><br />Hi Croft and Norma,<br />Having just read your post regarding your border experience (but not being able<br />to figure out how to post a comment), I would like to apologize for my country's<br />rudeness, inefficiency, and general high handedness. No way that you should have<br />to go through this experience except that we as a country seem to be<br />exceptionally paranoid in the wrong way.<br />We are warm....come for a visit.<br /><br />Jan, I would willingly sit for hours waiting for an X-Ray if you could see a positive outcome. There is no excuse for them not finding the tons of drugs, guns and cash that cross the border un-challenged. These searches seem designed fool the public into thinking they really want to stop the illegal trade. If they were looking, they would find them.<br /><br />The part about separating people from RV's and making one walk through, I do not understand at all. If they asked questions about where food was stored or what food we had, I would not have been able to answer. It makes no sense to take one person out of the rig.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-89438973442043776082013-04-01T19:40:16.497-07:002013-04-01T19:40:16.497-07:00Glad you made it through!

No way Jose! Glad they didn't make it worse. As they said, why go back to Canada, so what, you give up a little healthcare. Mexico for retirees, no taxes, no b.s. and lots of really good tequila.
