I hate customs....

I have to rant somewhere and you, must trusty salty friends, are who I am going to rant too....

I really LIKE fish keeping - after all, I've been into it for a 18 years - but I LOVE watches.

Well, there's this watch you see, and I've been yearning for it for a good five years now. Totally obsessed (you people can relate). Any-hoo, it's a pretty substantial chunk of change for this watch that I am so very fond of. Well, last time my wife and I were in Manhattan we went to the boutique and my wife too, fell in love with this watch - but we held off on buying it.

So, anyway, late last month, I broke down, called an AD (that's tick-talk speak for authorized dealer) and said 'sign me up'!

Well, it was shipped, and arrived in Canada (at customs) on 10/04... IT'S STILL THERE!

Why is it taking so long!! AHHH!!! Five years fine, but another week or two is killing me!! Why can't customs just give me my new watch.... Sigh....

So, thanks for listening....
