I thought about posting one photo per day for my US visit - both as a way to continue my 2log contributions during my vacation and as a way to make me carry my camera around more - but I'll probably be too busy/lazy for a daily update, so I'll just do it whenever I manage. Yesterday, for example, I didn't take any pictures, but here's one I found online which is a pretty good depiction of that day's highlight:
As of now, 18 hours after landing, my luggage is still MIA.
I know I've been light on 2log postings recently - mostly due to good things happening, but I'm never one to give up resentments and grudges, so here's a brief list of bad things that have happened to me (dates based on fuzzy recollection or Facebook rants)
March 7 - While biking down the street a dog jumps on me and latches on to my leg (damage - some light scratches, torn Jeans I had bought just a week earlier, seething hatred of irresponsible dog owners).
March 18 - My beautiful fairly new bicycle is stolen (damage - about $300 in material damages, 24-hour seething hatred of entire world).
Early April-ish - my cheap-ish replacement bike is knocked over and seconds away from being run over by a guy trying to park on the sidewalk (damage - nothing physical, seething hatred of guy expressed verbally to his face; his uber-logical response: "Well You shouldn't have been on the sidewalk!").
April 26 - some drunk/druggie/general lowlife tries to break into my ground floor apartment through the balcony a few minutes after I leave it at 8 PM (damage - three broken blinds, general feeling of violation and being stalked).
So is this city trying to tell me something?
YOU DECIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I think my month-long escape (a week from today) could not have come at a better time.
