Last weekend I had the weirdest (non-tramatic) border crossing to date...

The American border guard recognized that my name was Ukraine and began talking to me in Ukrainian... Whether it is shameful or not that I don't understand my heritage language is kind of my business... but I smiled as he continued to talk to me in Ukrainian repeatedly telling him I just didn't understand... Don't get me wrong he was nice and all but it was just a little non-sequitur to be asked all the crossing questions in a language I don't understand at the American border. LOL!!

Then on the way back in to Canada we got the roaming armed guard who was seriously trying to chatting up the attractive young woman in the booth. He asked I think every question possible in the book no matter how arcane... happily none I needed to fess to either and he seemed pretty pleased with himself so I guess it was a win-win situation... he was pretty good looking too LOL
