Had some Jehova Witness guys pass by a few minutes ago.

They weren't ready to encounter me.

"have you read the bible?"

Yea, sure, 4 or 5 times front to back, and old testament twice, I've seen things that only God or Godlike aliens could have created.

The problem with society these days is that not enough people believe in God. That there are consequenses to our actions.

I see a broken down car on the side of the road, I stop to render assistance. Few people would.

Why do I do that, because if it was Canada in the middle of a snowstorm in the middle of nowhere and you didn't stop for a driver in distress, well you'd read about their death from hypothermia a few days later.

All this I told the guys, and told them to not come back. I am not a part of any church or religion, I believe in God on my own terms, and I think He understands.

They gave me their magazine and left contemplating what I had said.

The Jehova guys,
One said he recently went to Canada and went on about the typical French tour of Canada.. Montreal-Quebec-Niagara falls-Toronto-home.

I remember Niagara Falls 35 years ago, it was a much better place than what I saw 5 years ago.

Which reminds me of something 35 or so years ago. Me and a couple buddys are sitting in my appartment and all we had was 2 beers between the three of us on a Sunday night. One of my buds says hey, lets go to Buffalo NY, they have all night liquor stores.

Looking back, I'm not sure if he knew that to be true.

Anyway, we hit the road and stopped for a break at Niagara. It's January and the mist from the falls is icing everything. The guy who suggested the trip is in cowboy boots, jumps a fence to get a better look at the falls and immediately starts sliding into the gorge.

Luckily, he managed to grab onto a small tree and slither back up.

So we hit the road again, get to customs control, guy asks us why we are entering the United States. I say Neil Young tickets go on sale tomorrow morning and we want to be first in line to get good seats.

So he let us go and off to Buffalo we went. Never found anything the resembled a place to buy beer, but we did pass 6 vehicles that had "PARKING AUTHORITY" written on them. Must be a big parking problem in buffalo.

So we headed back to Canada, customs guy asked us what were were doing in USA and how long was our stay, I said we went to camp out for Neil Young concert tickets then found out they only go on sale next week. We've only been there for a couple hours, nothing to declare.

It was fortunate that neither of the customs agents were Neil Young fans. no idea if he EVER played a concert in Buffalo....
