Boats and Canuks
Hey-- read a neat article in the Watertown paper yesterday-- Anybody boating up that way BEWARE. They have already cancelled some big fishing Derbies and contests in the St Lawrence cause of this NEW development so if your scheduled for anything -GET EDUCATED-call somebody from the organization running the thing before spending any dough.
Seems like the Canada folks are trying to act like a real Country or something so they are acting worried about terrorists coming up from the USA . Seems like they caught everyone by surprise with this one.
Guess they have seen the real Countries having some 'issues' and have decided to act like somebody would be interested in them too. LOL-- ahhh those crazy Canuckies. They dont get it- who cares?
Apparently they pinched some poor guy in his boat in the St Lawrence because he was fishing their side of the dotted line and fined him a thousand bucks -on the spot- he paid with his credit card.
Now ya gotta understand that as long as ya dont LAND in Canuckieville ya have NEVER had to check in with Immigration on their silly side and our side always let it pass cause ya never actually landed in the other Country.
Been like that forever and this guy was said to have been fishing like he and everybody from both sides has forever too.
WELLLL not so fast there- NOW the Canuckies say ya gotta go to predesignated places -on their side- and call in to fish on their side of the dots. Even if its miles from where your gonna fish. Now the US doesnt know what ta do cause now ya ARE landing over there- so do ya have to go to a US customs place in order to come back? Where will THAT be -they are working on it.
Canuckers in the Lakes apparently arent sure what do and had no answers for the reporter on the story.
For you boat guys remember the old saying. 'if in doubt keep it out' or sumptin like that. I certainly wouldnt be caught fishing on Juniors side of the line for a while. They said NOBODY knew bout this till AFTER the poor guy got pinched.
We used ta Duck hunt up by Calais Maine out by the border off of some Islands that may or may not have been Juniors side- Cant imagine what they'd do today what with us devils havin guns in the canoes an all dressed in camies-might go NUTS. Probably think its the second invasion.
Wellll-- let me rephrase that - MORE NUTS.
Aint life GREAT -just when ya think ya'v seen it all --ya cant make this kinda stuff up. Like that other old saying ' stuff happens' or sumpin like that.
