My last trip to Canada this past Thanksgiving.  I went through the tunnel in
Detroit and came back over the bridge in Detroit as well.  Going was easy.
On the way back the lines were long and the armed guards were 'randomly'
checking car trunks.  I went through without a hitch despite being quite
tired.  They didn't even want to see my citizenship papers.

I guess my clean-cut appearance, the short military-style hair and just
plain good looks help out.  ha...


Chris.
