I was with a couple police officers fishing up on the St. Lawrence River. River that divides Canada and the United States. Great fishing. We were at Alexandria Bay fishing. Now, I saw Boar Patrol around. Didn't quite know what they did. But while we're fishing, we come in the boat, we're at the dock having a few beers. The Boar Patrol boat come pulling in. We just started talking.

So my dream was, there's a Border Patrol station there on Wellesley Island, right in the St. Lawrence River, in the shipping channel, beautiful place.
