From a neighbor to the north…

“Last fall my wife and I headed to Oregon so that I could get some flight training that wasn’t offered here in Canada. We approached the stern looking US Customs agent and got ready for the typical serious and pointed questions. He asked me my purpose of travel and I explained that I was obtaining pilot training. He then asked my wife for her passport and said, ‘and you must be the next of kin.'”

“… Glad he wasn’t speaking prophetically!”
