A sunny Bay Area afternoon party.
Unannounced! Just hints enough to tease,
Unexpected! The Black Eyed Peas!
First-hand accounts of second-rate experiences with travel, technology and all-around trouble. Just so that I'm tethered back to Earth.
Thankful for new security measures at the airport over the resulting lighter carry-on payload, I wasn't expecting more bargains, but found to my delight a much faster boarding process with less junk to packup in and around the cabin. Much faster disembarkment, too.
Moreover, your touchdowns are cheered by near-empty overhead bins as they rattle carelessly free of luggage.
You'd think UPS, FedEx and the USPS would open up kiosks at the airport to handle your liquid-based purchases and other no-no's.
Pity the travelers who don't read books 'cause that's about the only items allowed in the cabin from airport terminal shops. Oh wait, there are magazines with pictures.

Long-lasting lipsticks sales are on the rise.
Spouses and girlfriends would love a ban on cell phones, now that all your football, baseball and basketball games are just a phone key away from robbing them of attention after they've read thru their People and US magazines.
Ban not the iPod, for it is holy.
Laptops are OK to carry-on, but Quantas and Korean Air, for a short time, asked that Dell laptop owners can't bring their exploding Sony batteries on board.
Jimmy Kimmel complained about the Baddies as to why they had to use liquid threats that ended up with the liquid and gel ban. Imagine instead, men from all over: If they used bras as weapons and then bras get banned!
