As most of you know I'm not overly fond of the US government and a lot of what they do. Perhaps they know about this and that would at least allow for a logical explanation of why things are going wrong.
To get you up to speed you should know that before I left Edmonton I used UPS to ship most of my goods down to me here in Minneapolis. It seemed like a cheap and logical choice. Well I've been here almost 2 weeks and my boxes of stuff, including 2 bicycles, are back in Edmonton. The broker there has been helpful in getting some information about my situation and has recently learned from customs why my goods were rejected; apparently I'm not allowed to live in the US! This is rather surprising; the same organization that says this is the one that stamped my damn visa, allowing me to live in the US! But I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, this is only a branch of "Homeland Security" and after all they shouldn't be having internal communication problems now should they...
I wonder how safe Americans would feel if they knew just how stupid their systems really are?

Thanks for the offer to help, though I think at this point things are getting sorted out. Though I am feeling the need to vent at UPS after this latest gaff.
Good luck with the wisdom teeth, I don't know if I would trust a dentist with a name so close to mine. At least I certainly wouldn't trust myself with any dental work.
