Customs nightmares eh?

The last time I landed at Boston Logan there was a rather stressed out official (female) waddling towards us shouting "US citizens on the right!" "Non US citizens on the left!"...

...fair enough I thought but she didn't point to which left or right she meant. It caused a lot of confusion because people thought "oh she means her left and not my left" etc. She got so pissed off that in the end she shouted "All non US citizens up against the wall!"


I did chuckle!

for something like shipping a transmission, you would do just that, ship it

I was talking about the invaluable experience of being able to walk thru a rebuild with an experienced mentor at your side
