Without the blurr it'd be waaayyy to easy.

Apparently they are going to be issuing/requiring long distance (that's the name, but it's only SUPPOSED to be 20m) radio transmitter imbedded mini passport ID cards for Americans crossing by land back into the states.
"Where's Bob?"
"Oh, we got him on radar squawking 1200 pickin' up some smokes in a 7-11 in Kingston"

Thanks big brother...

As of Jan '07 Canadains will need a passport to fly into the US, and as of Jan '08 it will be land or boat as well. Hey neighbour, won't that be good for business!

Fall Colour Pix

Here are some of ours from last weekend's trip. We didn't know it was Columbus day weekend in the States. We had no trouble finding a place to stay Friday night. Saturday was another story. At around 6 we started to look for a place to stay. They should have had to put up a sign, "Sorry Vermont is full". Ditto for Connecticut. When we asked if there was any place they'd recommend, the reply was "no where for at least 150 miles!" We tried Quebec and got the same story. Finally around 1:30am we found a place in the entertainment district of Sherbrooke. Can't say we were THAT impressed with the colours in the states but then again it was dark for most of the driving....We visited friends in Montreal Sunday/Monday which worked out nicely.
