Kiniski's Tavern - Point Roberts
Kiniski's Tavern again. Spotted Canada's Greatest Athlete - Gene Kiniski. He must be 70 -80 years old now. He was huge in All-Star wrestling back in the 60's and 70's. This was before WWF and pay per view. I believe his son Nick owns the pub now.
Given the brilliant sunshine outside, we sat out on the patio. It became sunburn city. To assuage my misgivings of not putting on suntan lotion, I had 3 beers (2 Alaskan ambers, 1 Coors) + fish & chips ($8.75). The amber was $4.75Cdn. As I paid only $13.50 plus tip, it looks like I will buy the rounds next time.
There was also entertainment. The feeding of eagles at 4pm, every Friday - Sunday. There were a couple eagles and they soared, ever majestically, and dove at the pieces of chicken being tossed onto the water.
Only in Point Roberts.

While it is indeed always nice to visit Point Roberts and while away a summer afternoon drinking beer out on the deck of Kinisky’s and to watch the eagles being fed, we should not let this direct our attention away from the absurdity of the existence of an American enclave like Point Roberts, without any land access to the rest of the continental USA, and which can only be reached through Canada.
The people of Point Roberts, living under the tyranny of George Bush’s increasingly autocratic and fascist rule, yearn to be free and look to Canada for deliverance. I feel sure that if the Canadian army invaded Point Roberts and annexed it to Canada, the USA, whose army is tied up in Iraq, wouldn’t do anything about it.
The people of Point Roberts would shower our soldiers with flowers as they marched in, and would cheer madly, so grateful would they be to be delivered from under the heavy boot of their American overlords, and would henceforth be able to enjoy the benefits of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and universal healthcare system.
Annexing Point Roberts to Canada is an idea whose time has come, and it behoves us as Canadians from the opaque mists Newfoundland to the majestic mountains of British Columbia to raise the banner of freedom and to snatch the oppressed peoples of Point Roberts from the talons of the American eagle and embrace them in our collective bosom.

I view Point Roberts as a quasi-tax haven for millionaire hockey players, Canadian and otherwise, who might rearrange your dental work to match theirs if ever your plan comes to fruition.
