I’m sitting in an airprot waiting for my plane to arrive and board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really not sure how much I accomplished on the trip, but I think there’s a few things that are better than they were, at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think we’ve got at least a partial path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And holy shit that Intertubes there are fast.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We get better downstream speeds, but the upstream speeds there are much, much, much better, and synchronous with the downstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a little less concerned about the supar-fancy sekurity system, but there’s still things that make me uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t hook up the devices from Space Cowboy Jeff (Bezos). I’m wondering if there’d be a way to contentedly coexist with some of this shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it still makes me nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all of my physical maladies, you’d think that I’d be less concerned than most about modesty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So much for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home is where you poop with the bathroom door open.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, I’m still not really okay with that, even when nobody else is home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the travel goes, it’s really not worth it to try to save that much money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the price difference between cattle car econ, and first class is a couple hundred bucks, really what am a saving going with the cheaper ticket?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get a shitty seat in the back, have to pay for my bags, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not having to deal with that, alone, is enough to spring for the higher-fare ticket. The bigger seats and Bree drinks is really just a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can remember a guy whose financial advice show used to run on the station where I worked. He bought his engagement ring at Costco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay. Plane is here. Time to fly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
