Sorry, Sean. Can you get to a different airport in Houston, like Hobby? I don't know what your ultimate destination is.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Folding is bad. Rolling things up is The Way Forward because (1) you can squish more things in and (2) it doesn't actually make them any more wrinkled than folding.
I think I saw someone do this years ago, and it blew my mind, but I still just fold my clothes. It's just easier to live out of the suitcase afterward.
Just to drive to the airport in heavy fog, while psychos endangered my life by driving 90 miles an hour down the freeway as if it was the middle of the sunniest day ever, and find out we were five minutes late for checking bags onto our flight.
Dammit, Sean. I'm sorry. That happened to me just last month, actually.

I've done that. I spent all of Mother's Day in the Detroit airport after... some visit to Ann Arbor or other. Was it a wedding? Something?

Dana, we're just going to Houston, so another airport might be possible, but S's bag is already in the airport's innards, so that might complicate things.
And thanks for the sympathies, all.

Jilli, I am listening to a Panic! at the Disco cover of "This Is Halloween."
Don't hate me.

I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist, but today I actually tried to think of why TPTB might not want people to travel. Because it sure seems like that's the TSA's goal. But I just couldn't think of any reason for the government to deliberately wreck the economy like that and decided to blame willful incompetence.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think they just want us to get used to continuous, intrusive security measures.

Hey, at least you guys don't have to have a retinal and fingerprint scan every time you fly over there. That sure is intrusive fun. But then, I am probably a terrorist.

That's probably it, actually.
Any ideas on why They let the dollar get so weak, or is that one actual incompetence? (I had a corollary to my travel conspiracy theory where They wanted to limit international travel. But I'm not very good at this and clearly am not ready for my tinfoil hat.)

I'm gonna guess actual incompetence. Or, you know, Bush & Co. decided a higher priority would be to give a bunch of tax cuts to the very rich.
