Saturday

pair of shoes I'm traveling with on the plane to save space. So they sometimes still make me remove them.

And, other than at the originating US airport, TT means nothing on international flights like my upcoming one.

Since Noem has suspended Global Entry and TT "because of the shutdown" (but actually to try and annoy people into blaming Dems), I am preparing for the worst.

Anyway, cheers to us and jeers our doubting spouses!
