If we're still talking about assistive devices, most
of the time I'd pick the machine on the theory that I'm
not important enough to have my assistive technology
hacked. A tested computer-guided device would be at
least as trustworthy as a possibly froward canine
trained by a possibly froward human. And it piddles
and poops less frequently, because it doesn't eat much.
I still think it would be a toss up in some aspects, others, one or the
other would be a clear winner.
In which case go with cheaper and more
convenient, which I'm guessing soon will
be the machine, if it's not already.
Steve said something about it this morning, basically on the order

It becomes a concern. And the other day there was a
computer crash affecting all the major airlines and
most of the major airports. I wouldn't be so concerned
about a personal VR system, though.
It's beginning to get quite concerning.
Some aviation expert claimed that April 6 would be aviation
armageddon, so I put Bonnie on one plane and Lilli on another
and took a third one myself. Nothing untoward happened. If,
as I fear, there are Russians or Assanges or who knows who
trying to hack into the systems, Boeing will do a bit more
suffering, and then if it goes down altogether, in a suitable
timeframe Airbus will start experiencing the same kinds of
issues. Your grandchildren may end up having to fly Tupolevs
or cheap Chinese knockoffs.

Nah, Hap's driveway is already full.
We would have had to plan to be gone much longer than we were. We'd have probably stopped to visit our daughters either on the way out to Seattle
or on the way back.
The thing can be a great convenience ... or not.
Uncle Matty's Hot Dogs with Onions
1 Tb dried parsley
I'd probably use Italian seasoning here, or add some oregano & maybe a
bit of basil to the parsley.
I'd likely not make the dish, but oregano and basil
would tend to take over. Italian seasoning often has
thyme to balance out those two, but the danger with
commercial formulas is they like to use herbs in order
of cheapness, which means an overplus of rosemary,
which I think should be an accent, not the base.
I know, but for travel in the States or within Europe, you could

Again, I'm not really into planning for really
remote eventualities.
Doubtful any of us would have to resort to private boats or whatever to
get to Europe, Asia, etc.
If that happens, for me at least the private boats
would be of a somewhat lower caliber than what we
like to think about.
My wheel isn't very squeaky, never was.
No, but combine it with enough other not very squeaky wheels and you
get > a loud enough one that gets the grease.
That would involve squeaking loud enough to
rally other squeakers!
How loudly can you squeak?
Can? Haven't tried too hard. Willing to,
not so much.
Can't win by losing, either.
Unless it's unwanted pounds.
Even so.
Some of them have a tendency to find their way back on.
Pounds come home to roost.
Usually so.
It's a question of what terminologies you're
sensitive to. The word I hate most is nonreligious
but irritating: "foodie."
That's a term I dislike also. There are others that certain food related personalities use that are equally off putting.
Well evoo to you, too. Fabulous, as Mr. Florence
used to say fifty times, maybe more, per show.
Most often it's a case of the contraband being in the luggage from a previous trip and not noticed when packing. I try to empty out the luggage completely before stowing it away to avoid unexpects
surprises > like that.
Often it is, but that doesn't excuse the gal with
a gun and ammo who made it to Japan undetected this
January! She was apparently totally oblivious and
quite chastened (turned herself into the cops after
landing in Tokyo).
I missed hearing about that one, doesn't matter at this point.
1. Somehow these things get shushed up pretty quick,
though this one got out (it was early this year).
2. It matters to me who fly a hundred times a year.
It should matter to you if you fly at all. Next time
the transgression may not be an innocent mistake.
I'd agree with you there. It's been a while since we flew

And it seems likewise that this particular
transgressor was not significantly dangerous.
Probably in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the signs on the

It wasn't in the news later, so one has no idea.
So probably not that big a problem.
3. Somehow these things get shushed up pretty quick.
I admit it wasn't a huge big deal this time.
I had an opinion to offer but discover that it was

Other than craisins, I tend to ignore cranberries in all forms.
They are sort of eh, average in nutrition, but
if you want to acidify, they're very good. They
can't really be substituted for in some recipes,
cranberry-orange bread, cranberry sauce,and so on.
Still not one of my favorite berries, especially teamed with orange.
My choices tend to be compound drupes, but among
the Vaccinium entries, it's lowbush blueberries
all the way.
