I'm seriously wondering how hard it would be to walk over the Quebec/NH border with a GPS and determination.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not hard at all, I'm sure. I mean "not hard," assuming you enjoy hiking and whatnot.

Yeah, but what do they do to you if they catch you? Is it a fine or federal time? Considering that I won't be smuggling anything (except myself) and have an expired passport?

Our wings are not tired.
We'll vouch for your tendency to not know where you are going, Theo. Clearly inadvertent border crossing.

That I do not know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The main thing I had to get done at work today just took care of itself, and now I am seriously wondering if I am going to go in.

There are expedited passport places online -- I've even heard some promise a 24-hour turnaround. Did you check those out?
I just don't want DHS getting a hold of you, Theo. Lord only knows what they'd do to your spicy brain. I bet they have blue gloves, too.

I'd definitely call an embassy or whoever to find out.
So my parents had a kitten Loki's age that got out May 31 and disappeared. They looked and looked, but no sign of her. They were heartbroken, because things are rough for kittens in their area, so they presumed she'd died.
She showed up in the yard this morning and is now in on my mom's lap, happy as can be. They'll be taking her into the vet's as soon as it opens to get her all checked out.

sarameg, now I'm wondering if there's some other heartbroken family out there who are wondering where the lovely kitten who wandered into their yard on June 1st is!
Reminder to self: get cats chipped RSN.

Huh. Just checked, and the overnight-guaranteed place is $224 plus the usual gov't fee of $135. That's on top of:
- share of gas to and from Montreal
- share of hotel room/3
- Worldcon membership
- price of Fedexing the passport to me in Montreal so I can get back in. (Canada doesn't require valid passport to get INTO.)
- plus, you know, food & incidentals for five days, as fasting is not an option.
