Smuggling is easy!

'Jim'  was Jim Byrd, ex officio of everything as I recall.  'Peter' was
Peter Weixlmann; the assistant RVP of Region 2. :-|

If it's easy, it's not smuggling.  I'd rather be frantic and successful,
rather than blasé and get the car siezed for failing to declare.  :-(

We were extremely lucky in one sense.  When we returnedthe lineup
crossing the border in the other direction was at least five miles long.
:-)

Following the 341 (at the stately Guest manor) Chris Hollinshead told of
his adventures crossing the US/Canadian border (successfully) with a
vanful.  The customs agent was searching for drugs and weapons, not
siberians.

Anyway, the moral should be to tell the truth, nothing but the truth;
but if you must volunteer, do it for your horticulture/iris societies,
not the customs agent/border patrol.  They get enough hassles. :-)
