Customs Russian Roulette
A friend is sending me some Earl Grey de la Creme from Distintly Tea in Waterloo. Since she’s shipping over a package anyway, I asked her to put something interesting in it and send it to me…
So, she decided to send me some small spider plants and aloe from her house, backed in a small empty vanilla extract bottle, completely forgetting that vegetable and other plant products are not allowed to be shipped into US. 
And she even listed the content as “Tea and Small house plants”.
I guess we’ll see how thorough US Customs will be. It should get here in about a week and I really really hope the plants make it here, but I’d give that about 5% odds. Chances are, the package will arrive here sans the small vanilla extract bottle and maybe some kind of note inside the package…
I love getting thins in the mail, even if they’re just bills, so I guess I’ll have something to look forward to and ponder over the next week or so. And for some reason, checking the mail sort of reminds me of my favourite chapter from The Little Prince.
