"... My mother had called and I said hang on mom, some female with a power trip is trying to harass a Canadian infantry vet. She didn’t like that and said if I felt harassed just wait for it. She started getting into harder and I asked if she joined just to harass men because she looks like a man hater. We’re going just about as well as you can expect when I hear my name yelled out from behind me. I turn and see a family friend of my parent’s who had previosly been RCMP and now it turns out he runs the customs in Vancouver as his retirement gig. He scolded the now very upset female and used his card to get me the fast way to my folks. If Mel hadn’t shown up right then, I’d probably still be there..."

That's an awesome story! I am going to take your advice-I have never been up to Canada west of Quebec City...so that is a destination.

One of the things I hate in our modern culture is that it is now difficult to stop to help people on the side of the road, though I will still do it on occasion. And sometimes, it makes for memories that last. And, it is good for the soul! Can't get enough of that.

If you are ever coming out to the New England area, you give me a ping...:)

I’m always armed and I’m 6’2 well versed in unarmed as well. Self confidence helps, but I still can’t foresee everything, the rest I leave to God.

I’ve been meaning to go, it’s one of the few states I haven’t been to. It’s on the list. I’d be happy let you know when that happens.
