Yes!!!  The plan is coming together.  In a campground just 5 minutes outside of the center of Quebec City, Camping Quebec en Ville.  $30 Canadian a night...$24 American.  Will probably stay here for 3 nights...
How did I end up here today?  Allow me to make a short story long...

In 1968 I was in a house in Dayton, Ohio when the police raided the place...it was a crash pad of stereotypical description.  When they raided they found a bag of pot and took everyone down to the police station where we were all fingerprinted and put in jail for at least 24 hours.  Having been fingerprinted in 1968, I have been consequently on the FBI's list for narcotics violations.  Although I had never been charged, brought to court or convicted of any crime, this incident has followed me for the past 47 years.  Not always, but, often I have been stopped at Canadian customs and asked to explain why I have a red mark next to my name for "suspicion of possession of narcotics."  It happened earlier today as I entered Canada at West Stewartstown, NH.  I was pulled into the carport, van searched, spoke with an immigration officer on the phone to explain.  But, as you already know, I made it into the country and am safe and sound just outside of Quebec City, where I hope to spend some great time in the Old City, which I love a lot.  

Oh yeah, and free wifi, which is amazing because now that I am in Canada my Verizon wireless data rates are more than in the US.

How did I get here?  I said to Ozzy, we just need to surrender to the universe and it will provide...
