After hurricane Fiona only one gas station brand was operating. They had generators but the thing that caused problems was their computer. They had to keep rebooting it for the pumps to work. It was great to get gas but standing in line for

Not if you live in a northern climate dawn in the winter is 8am at its worst and sunset can be as early as 4pm. I worked in a small casino and we had a huge front window that you could see south eastward. But yes I'm sure some some peo

I drove alone to the US from Canada for a trip in 1999 no passport (never had and still don't have one). The US Border Agents used my driver's license as proof of my ID. But they were convinced my goal was to go there to live. th
