I don't think I should have a blog. I started this one and I was hot to do it and I produced copy and graphics for a week....then lost interest. Its not like there is much happening. The clock counts down the days till I cram myself into an aircraft (three in a row actually) and speed thru the sky to America de Sur. Less than two months. So there isn't much to report. Trying to keep this on the subject declared at the beginning is tough. I gave myself permission in advance to drift off subject. Still, I try not to.
Today I thought about a large suitcase I need to buy. One with wheels. The one I got for the return from Madrid last year has one last trip in it....to the dump. It was cheap to begin with and the hop across the Atlantic March first pretty much sucked the remaining life out of it. So I will take it to the bolsa (baggage) Valhalla and bid it farewell. Then I will be at wallymart with a tape measure picking out another one. I think the dimensions for these things have changed often enough that the manufacturers haven't kept up. I don't want to risk being an inch over. I suspect that lots of people just eat the $50 here and $100 there oversize fee for an extra inch or an extra bag but my jaw would lock up. The airlines are sticking it Mr. Passenger enough as it is. I want to travel for what I paid. They can keep their F**king peanuts.
