sadly, some of the last couple of airports I have been thru now say don't put you film thru here- it will muck it up. new sequrity stuff.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

In American airports, developed film will survive carry-on scanners, but the checked luggage x-rays will destroy it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
From what I've read, film should be safe in a carry-on on domestic flights, but not in luggage anywhere, or in a carry-on for international flights. What I usually do is carry my film in a lead pouch (I think I bought mine at a camping supply store) in my carryon, and ask to have it hand-inspected if I'm going on an international flight.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Nicole's disposable cameras from this weekend in Cleveland were damaged by the x-ray machines at the airport. (I don't know if it was carryon or checked luggage, though.)
You know what would be a great idea for a hotel? If you could request the kind of sheets you wanted. Like, 300-count percale, t-shirt material (my current favorite), flannel (great for winter), or satin (great for man-hos).

I think the Ritz-Carlton offers this. (I know you can request specific pillows, anyway, at least at some locations.)

I'm getting the pig!

They were in the checked luggage. I wish I'd known that the carry-on x-rays were much less dangerous. Damn.
Lily is beautiful, Plei!
I'm so exhausted. I tried to catch up on sleep last night and instead woke up (an hour after I'd finally fallen asleep) freaked out from the worst nightmare I've ever had. It took about three hours for me to fall asleep again.
This from the girl that LOVES horror movies and ghost stories. Odd.

Ooh, I can't stand those t-shirt sheets. I thought I'd really like them, but they don't stay cool enough.

I'm a peasant. As long as the sheets are clean, I don't care what count or what fabric. Well, maybe I wouldn't want flannel in Arizona in July.

Lily is so pretty!
How's the Amby working for y'all?
As it was an insanely lovely spring day, we decided to drive home via Lake Washington. At some point on the drive, we thought hey, let's stop at Seward Park, where one thing lead to another and we wound up walking the whole two and a half mile trail.
And I was going to show up on the thread and boast about how we just got back from walking around Green Lake and how fit and pleased with myself I was because we never did it at all last year and now maybe I'm going to get healthy again.....but never mind....
