Maybe if you slid the bandana off your nose, wore a business suit and fedora instead of a sombrero and lost the bandillero and the pearl handled revolvers, you would make more of a middle america impression. I just tell the border people that I am seeking better psychiatric care in their country, as they don't understand maniacs where I am from, and they wave me through.

There were many immigrants and people from away in American Customs. I was watching with some care and interest and the customs folks seemed to be very curtious and polite. There was a mix of peoples from various places acting as customs officers too.
I expected to run into a dictator, but I think he was on holiday.
On the Canadian side the woman who checked me out was fom some place that makes people with brown skin. (Darn pretty too ) She was quite pleased when I had a copy of the original add and my money transfer. I gather she would have had to come up with a value on her own if I could not provide enough proof. A bill of sale is ok but not ok enough when it comes to determining value.

gotta run.

take care
