For Goodness Sake -- DON'T CROSS THE BORDRR AT DETROIT.  IN *ANYTHING*.
Buffalo is better, but there are smaller boarder stations within 20 miles.
Go there.

Detroit is where the new rookies at the border garding buisiness go.  They
go there because it is the hell hole and anybody with seniority will ask
to work anywhere else, even Bufallo.  The way you get to be promoted is
to be industrious and to catch a lot of people.  Besides, for most of these
people, this is a first job.  They are *EAGER*, people.

And they can take your car apart and leave it in pieces on the side of the
road and this is legal and you have to pay for putting it back together
unless you can do it yourself. (Even if you *can* put it together, they
did it to me in the winter, where it was *snowing*, and 20 below.  I can
put the panels back on my bus, adn that is what I did, but if they had left
it in rubble it would have been cheaper to buy another car.

Fuck you, Canada Customs.

Stay away from Detroit/Windsor border.  Stay away.  Stay away. especially
if you have long hair and are male or are wearing leather.  They make you
strip quite frequently, especially if you cross it by bus. Don't take
any dope across the border at detroit especially.  that is what they want
to find.

Stay away.  Stay away. Stay away.

Help beautify the world. I am writing a book called *How To Write Portable C
Programs*.  Send me anything that you would like to find in such a book when
it appears in your bookstores. Get your name mentioned in the credits.
