One would think, but remember last year? http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/001106.html Mind you, when Dave and I came back into The Great White North from GFM last year with the remnants of many people's beers in his giant cooler, a lovely young thing at the border smiled at us, asked where we lived (never asked for ID), and asked if we had alcohol or tobacco to declare. Dave said "we have about 48 beer in the cooler left over from out camping trip." She smiled a big gorgeous smile and said, "Do you mean ~about~ 48 beer, or ~exactly~ 48 beer?" Dave smiled back and said, "Oh yeah, ~exactly~ 48 beer," and she waved us through. No ID check, no searches, didn't even ask if we had anything else to declare. I think it was Dave's Kenora Tux that got us through. That, and his beard along with my week-old stubble. What else could we be but Canucks? <LOL> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
