Border Inspection of Fountain


Just got a Canterra Stone fountain shipped in from San Miguel (Guanajuato) through a dealer in Dallas. The US Customs drilled a hole in one of the central pillar pieces to see if there was any contraband in it! Luckily the fountain will mainly only be viewed from two sides but still--is this type of thing a normal practice or do you suppose my fountain dealer is on a watch list?

They have also drilled into the hull of large trailered sailboats. These are the ones hauled by special large trailers behind semis. The holes then are left to be repaired by the owner (before putting in the water).

Some years ago they caught these bad guys hauling PVC plastic pipe (a truck load). Turns out that the "pipe" was molded from coke! Pure dope!




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
