I haven't crossed the border for years. My last time was likely

now, but as I no longer have a passport I'm not even trying.
Anyway, as others have said, it can be hit-or-miss.
Sometimes short and easy, other times long and arduous. And that's
going both ways.
I think much of it has to do with the border guard lottery.
These guys have a lot if discretion. If they're in a good mood you're
in like flint.
I remember your "fun" border crossing on way to GFM :-) . So is it you
or your spell checker that changed 'In like Flynn" to "in like flint" ?
for Flynn think Errol Flynn, the HOllywod movie star and womanizer.
Perhaps he was thinking of the 1960's Spy Spoof staring James Cobern.
ah so ... but that title was a send up of the original, I think. and
then there is the other (political ) Flynn I had forgotten
about - actually pretty good info about all of it on wiki...
I certainly heard and used the Flynn version since the 50's never
thinking about where it came from.

This guy just had a bad draw is all.
Having no fixed address didn't help his chances either.
