border crossings

[Dean May]

Thanks to the insanity of the Patriot Act(sic) a they will start
requiring a passport to re-enter the US this summer (not sure of the
exact date). This will effectively close the longest "open" border in
the world. Papers, please.

Hi Ken,

There is never a problem until there *is* a problem.
You can imagine how frustrated I felt one day sitting
at the border in the USA customs booth making a total
inventory of *every* tool in my kit. I guess it was
just "my turn". I now don't cross the border without
an inventory list. It only happened once--but once was
*more* than enough.
