That's the truth. My daughter made the error of leaving her grandmother's house in Canada this morning to return to university in Georgia. She has been caught at the Buffalo border for the last four hours. Apparently the documentation she used the last several times she visited Canada is no longer sufficient to prove that she isn't a threat. I can't communicate with her now because cell phones are forbidden the holding areas. The waiting to hear is distressing.

I'm glad that my dog and I crossedf the border last weekend.

Maybe the whole message - from God of course - is that maybe we should all just stay home. I'm not fooling either, I think airplanes are a wicked invention. They will literally be the death of us all -- infectious diseases being what they are. Plus, there's something very perverse about being able to go to sleep and wake up 12 hours later halfway around the world.

anti-loominary,

Paul

p.s. no, I'm not falling down
