Stop Illegal Spying
This is going to be a new link to my site.
If you live in the United States of America, or are American living elsewhere please consider visiting this site and sending email to your elected representatives. I reviewed the e-mail one would send, it's a good communication, it says it all, in a comprehensive and respectful manner.
While I realize terror has changed a lot in our world, there are lines that have been crossed. I'm already in a very cross mood about how it's ruined travel. I've been researching luggage forwarding, so I can have a few things I like to have around, and that has been an exercise in real frustration, it's really an expensive proposition, and the paperwork is disgusting and annoying.
As things stand, I can't get just what I want into my carry on bag. There are things I must have, documents and such, then there's the matter of clothes. On other trips I've ended up wearing like three or four skirts just to save room in my carry-on. I resent the skimpy allowance on those things. It's bad enough the three ounces of whatever deal. Extremely small weight allowances for carry-ons are not good.
There's been more about the bee situation, and it's really very puzzling. Apparently there hasn't been hive collapse in Australia, but the Australian bees that were imported to California have all died. They were imported with the hope that the Australian bees had immunity. Wierder and weirder.
