Good morning Box. The President is still in town, I think -- he usually stays at the Hyatt across the street from my office. My usual 8 minute drive was very :rolleyes: with the various street closures that, of course, were not announced.

wave at him through your windows?

Has there been a waving tax instituted yet?

He may have already left. It is awfully quiet over there.

My traffic ticket is for some reason not payable online. I'm being forced to deal with the People's Democratic Republic of New Jersey in person.

We got that coming back through MIA from EZE where we each unloaded 100+ boxes of shells. Nothing came up.

Aha -- that is about 2 miles east of me, but it somewhat explains the street closures.

IIRC, I took a taxi from the AeroRail Station in Kowloon. It was about $5, if that.

I am thinking the Sheraton would be better for me with a late arrival. I also need to catch a train to Canton early the next morning, but I was wondering if the LM is worth it to try and save $100.

Hah. I should have tried that line.
Although when I'm detained by a LEO*, I tend to keep my mouth shut. :o







*Deputy happened to be walking by as this occurred and inserted himself in the subsequent "investigation." Not really sure who had jurisdiction over that :rolleyes: and if I can claim false detainment. At least the TSA gave me a nice letter to give to the airline to get me home without financial penalty.

I suppose most of them look at me and figure I'm more trouble than it's worth.

I used to get regularly at OAK, would tell the guy my lower back was pretty tight, see if he could loosen it. One guy actually tried

Yes it does, often wondered what would happen if Target\Wallyworld\Kmart decided that luggage and fertilizer should be on the same isle :eek:
