When we were wetbacks...

One of the long neglected tasks that "will get done someday" has been digitizing boxes of color slides and packages of black and white negatives from wayback. Well, it still isn't done although it did get a prod in the right direction the other day when we were visiting Martine. Somehow or another, she had ended up with a box of color slides from the period around our arrival in America. At that time, a series of poor decisions on the part of my sponsoring employer left us in the unenviable position of illegal immigrants for a while. During this period we "hid out" in a tiny ranch house on Winters Road for six months or so, while everything was straightened out with the INS. Here is a picture of our hideout.
Stay tuned for further stupefying episodes...

Glad you are no longer illegal and we don't have to worry about Immigration coming to take you away (might have to worry about someone else, but not Immigration!)

Gosh, never really knew an illeagal before have to admit they are not all that bad. Now I know why you where always looking over your shoulder and nervous around law enforement.

Waiting for the next chapter to arrive.

Did the white rabbit take off in the hands of a European?
