May. 8th, 2002 10:37 pmWell.. I arrived in Batavia mostly safely.. just late and stuff. Heh!
Crash on QEW stopped us still for an hour. We had almost made up the time, when we hit the US border.. There were 5 of us. Easy right? No.. one of us (not me!) had previously been deported from the US for overstaying. He was Canadian and had spent 17 years in Florida before they found him. I kinda think he was gay, what with florida and all that, and so I have sympathy that there's nothing he could have done, but that's another story. Anyway, so I had thought I wouldn't make the connecting bus to Batavia from Buffalo, so called and said I wouldn't be in till tomorrow, so don't wait for me. But when we got to Buffalo, the bus was going to be the Batavia bus, so I got there anyway. But because it was already like 40 mins late, didn't have a layover, or any food or any time to get out US money.. so I arrived in Batavia with noone to greet me and no local money. Since it was a local call, collect calls wouldn't work, and when I tried my calling card from AU, it wouldn't work either, cause it wasn't enabled for international calling. Annnnyway.. got an Australian operator to call mom and get her to call the person here to get me. I then called mum back and had a chat until she arrived. But those 40 mins trying to get thru to the person myself sucked seriousdly. Unk.
My great aunt has a Dell running XP. She's like 84. Cool :)
m33p!
