matt gets to see the grill...

the medium/house shoes made their way back to me...and they fit...nice.

yesterday morning i made my way out to tsawwassen and then eventually point roberts to pick-up some packages i had at the letter carrier. i dropped by matt's place, he's not only a bomber and all-round good guy, but a newish resident to tsawwassen....welcome to the T my friend...matt wanted to get gas so i left my car at his place and we headed down in his truck...and, in a first for matt, he got to see the inside of the border station (shocker, he was with me and got hauled inside). i knew what it looked like inside but had to go inside and report too...and then matt got to see and hear the rigermerole i go through almost everytime i go through the border...some good comments yesterday from the woman 'helping/processing' us. in response to me telling her and showing her the bill of a book i was picking up that i had bought off of ebay (a stephen shore photo book...) while shaking her head in disbelief.. "you paid 47 dollars for that book" , "yes", "are you an art dealer?" "no"
and after getting matt's keys so she could go and have a snoop around. "do you have any drugs in the car?", "no", and a few more 'do you have's'...which were answered 'no'..."do you have any money in the car", "no", "any loose change?", "no"..."are you sure because i went out there once and almost had a stroke.." (me) "why", "because i went out once and looked in someone's car and found money...." and then she walked to the back of the station kinda mumbling....i know when i find money, especially change, i totally feel like i'm gonna have a stroke. a few more questions - do you have a driver's licence in the states? (all these to me...) have you been arrested, etc...where we work...and we were away to get our stuff in the metro of point roberts....
after the pick-up at the letter carrier we headed down to the market place grocery store to have a look for some Bush's Best Baked Beans...grant, at work, talks about these beans like they're the best beans he's ever tasted so i wanted to a: get him some since i was right there and b: get some for me to give them a go. while we were buying ours, matt decided he needed to try the beans to, a couple of guys came down the aisle and they started loading up on the Bush's - armfulls....they looked like they knew what they were doing so we knew we were on the right track.
so all in all it was a pretty good day in point roberts...
i went by issy's after to say hello and also install some RAM in her emac that i had picked-up at the letter carrier. i had been at her place a couple of weeks ago and after sesing how long it took to open programs on her computer, checked out the ram action and saw that it needed to be added to...now she's all RAM'd up and rockin'....

go issy....
