Returned from my trip to NY with halo light...

[Carmine]

As promised in other threads, I have returned from NY. Since there wasn't much reason for me to drive the longer US route, I went through Canada. My girlfriend and I had a nice mini-vacation to Niagara falls.



The people selling the set were very nice, and thankfully had the good sense to put it on craigslist before kicking it to the curb.



It's not a very good cell phone picture, but it's complete and good cosmetically. Obviously works.

None of the border agents seemed to care much about the reason we were traveling, at least until Port Huron, re-entering the US...

"Purpose of your trip to Canada?"

"We drove through to purchase a TV in New York State."

"What kind of TV requires you to drive to NY?"

"Um, it's an old TV."

"Why would anybody want that?"

Now how am I supposed to answer that question? I said "it's a hobby", but he just looked at me weird. I'm supposed to explain to this 18 y/o who looks like he just reached level-4 in some idiot video game "WHY" I'd want an old TV? But he has the badge and gun...

He then asked if I collected anything else. I was going to say "Dead hookers", but thought better of it and just said "cars". That seemed to satisfy him that I was a red-blooded American, and he waived me though.
