Sure enough I drove down on Friday, and the surly front desk people acted like I was a jerk, and said, “Who told you you could do this?” Generally gave me a hard time. But they did take my paperwork, and after 4 hours I got called in for my interview with a U.S. and Canadian border guard. I managed that, and now I’m approved, so that’s a big deal for us. Assuming my card comes in the mail in a few days.
