That is so classic Bernie... funny if it weren't so sad.
I can't imagine anyone thinking the government should run our medical system if they send out letters to the dead inviting them to reapply if they
change their mind (about being dead???).
Please send it to the TV stations!

Some things never die.
Bernie....They treat your beloved wife as the IRS treats a debt. Shame on them for their heartless behaviour.

Bernie,
Thanks so much for sharing your insights and humor. I really enjoyed your post and the thread that followed it.
I am sure if there is anyway in the hevens Don Jimmy and LuAnn could meet over this one, they would for sure be having a chuckle over the irony; Of
course, that is how it works on planet earth, and for sure in the regard to their/our beloved Baja, over the course of a life time of hassles dealing
with the damable boarder issues.
Ah well, life goes on................

Bernie: Hope you don't mind if I pass this on to a good friend who is a retired ICE employee (Border Patrol and Investigations). He'll get a big
laugh out of this.
