Legacy of 9/11. More than a year ago, Ferdy and his daughter smuggled all the preps. into Mexico by air successfully. I guess organic cowpie could blow up buildlings! In Nov. after 9/11, I went to an anthr. Agric. Section mtg in Pasadena, CA, USA. The US Immigration were no problem. It was the Canadians who tore me apart. Even to the point where I was told off for not renting a car in Los Angeles! Michael (BC, Canada)
