Yep, cameras all around, front, back, high, low.
Next time I'm asking for my colonoscopy results.Far more than cameras are aimed at you.
Gamma ray detectors and heavy duty data mining.I am all for border security.
But the overt militarization and surly assholishness is not protecting us.
A few years ago they replaced the building/facility. Everybody was amazed at the constuction hole. That facility is like an iceberg, 90% is hidden underground. Not just underneath the building, but spreading out underneath the roads and park.Don't get me started on Homeland Security money. Billions of dollars were given to all kinds of businesses and organizations. Indian casinos got Homeland money. The Amish got Homeland money. I guess foreign evil-doers are out to harm people who are bad at math and those who create hand crafted furniture.
Quick story:
Headed home from lunch one day the guard told us to "follow the yellow line to the yellow portal".
Fine. We followed the yellow line until it dead-ended at nothing. We dutifully stopped at the end of the yellow line. Hmmm. We were blocking the road and it has barriers on both sides. Traffic was now blocked. My wife was stressing out. I said don't move the car, follow orders. Pretty soon there was a line stuck behind us. I got out, went in to ask what next. Where's the yellow portal? There was a long line and we were blocking traffic. I raised my voice and asked everyone within 50 feet where the yellow portal was. A superviser approached, asked questions about why we were looking for a yellow portal. Turns out six cars in a row from one lane all got sent to the yellow portal. After some scurrying around and head scratching they said the gamma ray detector was giving false positives. The superviser sent all six cars on their way. He said the guard in that lane needed training. The "yellow portal" is a secondary gamma ray detector. He didn't know why the yellow line dead-ended and did not guide you to the secondary gamma ray detector.Also they got upset every time I said the words "gamma ray detector". I guess they think they are secret, even though they are eight foot tall safety yellow boxes on both sides of your car and also other places. Plus they brag about them on websites. Oooh, super secret.
Sorry for the exchange rate, but thank you for the discount on everything when we come up.
You guys really pay more for everyday necessities, gas, food, clothes.
But that is nothing compared to your housing market. Yikes.

Well that's far better than any story I have! I often find women are more harsh than men, maybe something to prove, maybe the fact that they're in that field says something... always watch out what you say though, definitely don't need (another) colonoscopy!
I imagine either they go home and act the same, or take off all their clothes and run around naked for a while to take away the shrill. :)
Re your next post, sounds good on meeting up one day. That however would have to be approved by the wife, those trips are all about her and family time (I work a lot, not a ton, but more than we'd prefer I do).
Totally understood.
I too have a Minister of Planning and Finance. SWMBO !
Maybe a quick food stop on your way through someday.
We'll figure out something for sure even if wife is in a rush to get somewhere.. let me know if Kelowna is ever on your radar also!
