<div id="ygrps-yiv-1387087514">Woke up this morning to tapping at the door. It&#39;s snowing like crazy <br/>
outside, and there&#39;s a strange car in the driveway. Outside is a very <br/>
nice lady, a visiting nurse, she said, who&#39;s also telling me she just <br/>
flattened my mailbox post, saw a truck up ahead, and a bus, couldn&#39;t <br/>
stop in time, slid off the road, etc etc ... (I just said hold it, <br/>
you were driving too fast for conditions, or not paying attention, or <br/>
probably both.) First two things I notice are that there&#39;s not a <br/>
scratch on the car, and its front license plate: ONTARIO. (Yours To <br/>
Discover.) <br/>
<br/>
PD accident over $50, and I&#39;m wondering what the paranoid uniforms <br/>
would do to this foreigner, even if they didn&#39;t already have their <br/>
hands full with the weather. So I said, in effect: be on your way and <br/>
watch your driving. <br/>
<br/>
And I&#39;m sitting here wondering what the US border inspectors <br/>
mentioned in the article would have to say if I told them this story. <br/>
(Like maybe: doesn&#39;t this country have its own angels of mercy, who <br/>
know how to drive in bad weather?) <br/>
