After a week of travel in Washington, DC and #AGU24, a people observation: people and their cell phones are nuts. Not that people are always on their phones: that’s a given. Rather, people stopped in the middle of walkways, roads and shops, staring at phones. Not only oblivious to everyone and everything around them, but positively annoyed when asked to move. #Travel #CellPhones

Replied to gcvsa ⭐🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭

In print in Traveller in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald today - I take part in the annual Underrated/Overrated in Travel report. Pick up a copy and see if you can guess which items are mine. :)

(And I'll share the link to the online version here if/when it goes online.)

I finally have thin gloves that fit well, are fully insulated and have fingertips that work with my devices. When I attempted to get gloves that hit all those points last winter, as I was getting ready to leave Seattle, what I obtained turned out to not have enough insulation for the Midwest family location or where I am now.

For the shuttle from Denver airport to the family house in Cheyenne takes a couple of hours and has multiple stops where the vehicle is opened, so being bundled up is required from October to about April.

I travel in 10 days. I will do laundry that includes any travel pieces this weekend. I am conscious this may be my last trip before extraneous travel conditions are imposed.
