take a look at the Ukrainian border offices where they<br/>
have &quot;Heinrich Himmler&quot; staring at you from their<br/>
sample forms...<br/>

&gt; It happens on the other side as well.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; I took Via Rail from Port Huron to Toronto, and the<br/>
&gt; inspectors at Sarnia asked me all sorts of questions<br/>
&gt; when they found out I was a writer. Who&#39;s your<br/>
&gt; publisher, how much money do you have with you, in<br/>
&gt; the bank at home, credit cards, where are you<br/>
&gt; staying, what are you seeing, do you have a return<br/>
&gt; ticket ... on and on and on. I sat there, while they<br/>
&gt; put me on hold and disappeared, wondering how I&#39;d<br/>
&gt; get back to the States if they did send me home.<br/>
&gt; (And this was before 9-11). <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; I didn&#39;t really think they would, however, like the<br/>
&gt; man in the mac telling John and Yoko they had to go<br/>
&gt; back. I was ready for whatever might happen. Had my<br/>
&gt; little notebook with travel itinerary, and the<br/>
&gt; papers I&#39;d made notes on while planning the trip,<br/>
&gt; and whipped it all out on demand. At least they were<br/>
&gt; civil. The people who seem to savor being a pain in<br/>
&gt; the you-know-where always go about it with more<br/>
&gt; class in Canada. <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; In the States, I&#39;m sure there are lots of<br/>
&gt; shrill-voiced groups demanding even more of what<br/>
&gt; happened at the Maine inspection station. (While<br/>
&gt; it&#39;s now apparently okay to sneak across from<br/>
&gt; Mexico. They want to let those folks stay even<br/>
&gt; longer. I don&#39;t know how to say &quot;I hope I get<br/>
&gt; re-elected&quot; in Spanish, but George probably does.) <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; The ony post 9-11 border crossing story I have is<br/>
&gt; being towed back after having car trouble in Sarnia.<br/>
&gt; Never came back through the commercial lane before.<br/>
&gt; The tow truck driver said it happens now and then.<br/>
&gt; And he explained that his mom lives on the US side.<br/>
&gt; They just waved us on through. It probably helped<br/>
&gt; that both of us were locals.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
