Food for Thought, Across the Worlds

janetmiles mentioned to Doug, who mentioned to me, that another writer is talking about getting food ideas from her characters.  I am amused and pleased.

... I've heard that in a couple places now.

Let me put it this way: If you do not live in America, do not come here for any reason. It is not an adequately safe or sane place to be or even approach. Borders that used to be largely a formality are now paranoid, risky, and getting worse. This is not the first such incident, and sadly won't be the last.

Yeah, I've heard so many horror stories both about crossing the border as well as dealing with the non-border US police.. and it didn't really matter whether or not you were a US citizen. It's very frightening, and not something to encourage tourism.

This is one of those reasons that if you do have to cross, it's better to use a method like a coach or train. You don't look as conspicuous if you're travelling with a rather public form of travel, compared to travelling on your own with a laptop and notepad. Sure, driving might be cheaper, but not at the risk of trauma like that.
