Where's a philosophy major when you need one? The Eagles were not going to tour again unless/until Hell froze over. So it must have because they did... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Freezes_Over For a scientific explanation, http://www.snopes.com/college/exam/hell.asp Note: "Sometimes the student's comments culminate in the assertion that hell must be exothermic because a girl he'd been chasing had sworn it'd be a cold day in hell before she'd sleep with him, and he'd so far been unable to get to first base with her." QED: Hell has frozen over. -- JS |

I wuz over to CanoeVillage where the Michigan Crew sez the top counties have run water taps continuously all winter, that not a single area of open water is unfrozen now, that the frost at Traverse City goes to 12'...bragging rights.

:We have import duties, too, although enforcement is lax when ordering from certain U.K. sellers and using certain shippers. DHL will stick you -- don't use them. Import Packages imported by DHL, UPS, or FedEx are likely to have a customs brokerage fee attached, of between $20 and $50, in addition to any duty that's owed, even if the goods are free of duty. Goods imported by the post office will have a smaller (about $5, but it's changed recently) fee attached, if US Customs has decided that the package is dutiable. -- What's the rule on that? |

Per Phil W Lee:
The trick is to assign it a low value (below the duty threshold) instead of sending it as a gift. That is my plan, although I did not there was an official "Gift" designation. Gotta talk to people at the local post office, I guess. Took it out of the manufacturer's backing, nastified it by rubbing beach sand on the plastic float, applied a little bleach, wrote a "Property of...." in magic marker on the float, hit the fabric/wrist float with a little Clorox... intend to put a few printouts of Crag's List ads for same-brand cams at very low prices in the box and so-on and so-forth. -- Pete Cresswell |

I wonder if there's any official designation for "returning lost property"? :-D Sounds logical, but I doubt it in light of what I have read/heard so far: they want to know exactly what is in the package...period. Took it to the USPS today and asked the guy specifically about the declared description - wanting to make it as vague and non-specific as possible and said basically "WebCam, good; assorted electronic gadgets, bad".... -- Pete Cresswell |
