Nov 2021

An old friend had a medical emergency in the Yukon, and his wife asked me to fly up and drive their old motor home back to Seattle.
No prob at the border...old guy, old motorhome..
Let us right thru.

Guy got well and was grateful. Only then did anybody tell be he had a shotgun and a "saturday nite special" .25 auto pistol hidden under the fold-out couch.

I about shit!
