She made a smart choice to become your ex Wife. You are not just a danger to yourself but to others as well.

But yeah couple of people told me that wild boars can be dangerous, a ex-supervisor i worked with he told me when he was on a hunt for a wild boar and it almost ripped him apart, that last shot he took eventually hit the right spot and put the boar down or else he would've got hurt bad.
 
In Canada! Bus is close to Richmond BC where my friends picking me up. Beautiful ride but only very briefly saw the Ocean after getting into Canada and none in America. The Canada immigration guy did some questions because of my open ended plans but not terrible questioning.

Years ago, I and three friends went to the Windsor, Ontario casino for an evening of gambling.

At the Detroit Windsor tunnel, I was asked if I had anything to declare.

Told the officer, yes. Pointed out my three passengers and told him, three broke Americans who cannot even help me with the toll to get back to America.
 
From my memory, verbatim conversation with the Canadian border official when crossing into Canada yesterday:
Off: Where you going?
Me: Friends House
off: Where's that.
Me: White Rock.
Off: for how long (I had entered 10 days on the immigration declaration form)
Me: maybe 1-2 days with them. Then maybe 1-2 days in downtown Vancouver.
Off: How come you not sure?
Me: I'm on an open ended trip all the way from South Carolina and plans flexible. I've entered 10 days in Canada in case I decide to take the train from Vancouver to Toronto.
Off: Why Toronto? Do you know where it is?
Me: Yes it's a four day trip. But I'm traveling all the way from South Carolina for days on train.
Off: Why the train. Are you afraid to fly?
Me: No but I like trains better. And I hear the route to Toronto is fabulous.
Off: There's not much to see once you get out of the Rockies on that route.
Off: Do you work?
Me: I lost my job last year and been living on savings and a pension.
Off: What was your job?
Me: software engineer.
Off: (Giving me passport) Go.
Me: Thank you very much.
Off: You are welcome.

(I was maybe secretly hoping denying entry... I've spent a lot of time in Vancouver between 1999-2003 and so not much exciting. Plus I generally get uneasy in big cities but that's because decades old away from even medium sized cities)

Strange. I have never been interrogated by Canadian immigration like this. Only the US border patrol are always looking to play mind games and trip you up.

Well I was expecting that and told wife what was coming: No immigration official likes open ended traveling coming to their country. I gave honest answers. The guy detected I was telling all truth.
