I was in the process of traveling home via a long highway which stretched into Canada and then curved back to enter the U.S.A. I had driven or otherwise arrived at a location on it just inside Canada, and was resting in a building when I met a stranger who was also following this route.
I decided to follow him, and we drank tea with ice cubes and shredded sharp cheddar cheese in it, preparing for the journey. We had our things ready.
Then my Dad arrived, and greeted me enthusiastically. We got onto the boat that was outside and started off to sea. I glared at a banner that we had hung up and soon it exploded in flames, leaving a charred remainder. This upset the stranger, and I apologized for this.
I got out of the boat to dry off some ropes attached to it, and then got back on.
