I spent most of my weekend shovelling snow off my roof and breaking up the ice dams. It sucked ass!

I noticed this when I was in Canada. Sure the main highways are blocked but I don't think it would take a genius to just walk across through the woods.

oh hell yes! I know plenty of places, some aren't even that remote really...where you could just waltz right across the border.

It is also funny how lax the Canadian border is coming from America. Only the driver had to show ID and when we said we had 12 bottles of liquor with us, he said "Oh you all are having a party Eh?!".

Coming back was a pain in my ass. 30 min wait at teh border. fuging Extremists.
