OK back to the crap

We had a late start to the morning on Friday. We finally finished the things we had to do to cross the border. We both had our license's ready for the border patrolman in the booth. I pull up and we answer some questions and he tells us to pull off up on the left hand side and an officer would tell us where to park and what to do. By this time I'm a little scared. Never before have we had to pull aside. Little old me. I'm no threat and neither is the lover. The Customs officer told us to lock our doors and go to the second floor, have a seat and wait for our names to be called. By this time I just realised the custom officer in the booth didn't give me back my ID. So we go to the second floor and wait! And wait and wait. They call the lover in and then me. By this time I have no idea what to think. What did I do? Better yet what will I do! I answered his questions and then he wanted to search my truck. OK. He kept asking if I had any weapons or drugs and Liquer? Who me? NO but I do have my cigarettes. He rummaged thru the luggage, dirty clothes and all. When he was done with the back and had the tailgate closed I noticed he forgot to put my storage container back in. I asked him about this? Oh he forgot and had to shift things about to get it in. Well he's the one who messed things up. He then inspected the interior and back up to the second floor for another wait. But before I go on...while waiting outside with the customs officer rummaging I saw two males being hauled in cuffs to customs office. I wonder what they did? We waited some more, by this time my bladder was ready to explode, so I found the little girls room. While in there the customs officier gave us the OK to leave. Off we went. My first experience with our US customs. Wasn't real bad but scary. Seems Friday was slow. Lots of people up on the second floor.
So we head home, stopping to grab a cup of Joe and eat. We got home and the house was freezing. The gas had gone off at the gas well. So the lover had to go pull the plunger out, while I lit the furnace, hot water tank and the ventless heater. But I couldn't get the hot water tank lit, so guess who had to do it? Hey; I lit the others. Thank goodness the turtles were with my dad.
Oh, I do want to thank the US Customs, they protect our borders each and everyday to keep us safe.
