Quelque chose comme ça,

This wasn’t so much embarrassing but it was pretty funny. Years ago I was in Brazil for work and decided to take an extra weekend and fly out to see Iguaçu falls, which is right on the Brazil / Argentina / Paraguay border. On the Argentina side there are walkways right up close to the precipice itself, so I planned to…

Really the only part about this story that is embarrassing is the speech of the border agent. I drove my BMW e36 convertible from NC to NS. On the way there, the Canadian border guard was friendly and sent my on my way quickly. On my way back, I stopped at the crossing where I-95 starts. I pull up and the border agent…

My entire family for generations was born in the same city, Buffalo, NY. Except for me. I was born in Rochester. Dad, his wife (1st step mom), my sister, and me were crossing into Canada at Niagara Falls for a day trip. The agent asked where everyone was born, and Dad said, “everyone was born in Buffalo, NY.”

It was my first trip to Canada back in my early 20's. My then live in girlfriend, now wife of over 20 years, were pulling up to the border to the drive up window. I had both our passports in my hand. I pulled up and rolled down the window and saw this STUNNINGLY Gorgeous Canadian Border Agent. She was so unexpectedly…

Traveling to Greece (Athens). Before leaving I had my long hair and mustache cut, and week before I dropped my eyeglasses for contact lenses. Passport didn’t reflect that, of course. Once landed in Athens, we were greeted with the militia with automatic machine guns (being a Canadian, never saw a machine gun in my…

I was a student at University of AZ in the late ‘70s, not far from Tijuana. One Sunday morning, a couple of friends dropped by to ask me if I wanted to go to Mexico. (I had the only car that had a chance to make the 150 mile round trip - a well worn ‘72 Z/28)

This was about 15 years ago. Passports were not yet required for US/Canada crossing, but I had one.

Not embarassing, but I spent the night in no-man’s-land hoping there was no guerilla attack that night...

What borders...?

That is, in fact, very cool! I bet your dad would have gotten a real kick out of seeing this article and a coral like that.

Don’t forget this one.

Pfft - they’ve had flying bikes since 1980

On of the best things that has happened in my work life was having a co-worker who was a competitive baker. New recipes came to the break room for opinions. Not quite perfect looking products were always welcomed. I thought things couldn’t get any better until another co-workers spouse got into competitive BBQ.

Thats a hell of a list! Im convinced. 

Why did the man put kidney beans in his baby maker?

One semester my daily diet was macaroni with cheese, a pot pie, or a can of soup (all generic and about 25 cents at the time) and all the potatoes and white rice I wanted. I always had money for Old Milwaukee tall boys, though.

The roomies and I pooled our money and got 2 kegs for a blowout party. We had about $2.50 left over so the party snack was gonna have to be popcorn. After spending all day popping a hefty bag full, we learned that college students much prefer beer to popcorn, and since we lost control of the gate, the whole deal…

My first year of university I lived in an apartment (I opted out of dorms) and my grandmother gifted me around 100 boxes of hamburger helper so I could make quick and easy meals. I didn’t know how to cook very well back then so I never even attempted to jazz them up with spices, herbs or even a vegetable. I’m amazed I…
