As a nation, we have been responsible for the murder of literally hundreds of thousands of people at home and abroad by fighting a war that should never have been started and can be won, if at all, only by converting the United States into a police state. »» Milton Friedman

My Personal TSA Nightmare

Posted on May 16, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Travel | Leave a Comment

Okay, Nightmare is too strong a word for it, but it makes for a much stronger title than “My Personal TSA Bad Experience”

Vacation Posts Are Coming Soon - I Promise

Posted on May 15, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports, Travel | Leave a Comment

I know, I know, I’ve been back four days and still haven’t posted very much about our vacation last week. The truth is I’ve been working at it, but processing dozens of videos and well over a thousand photos is taking much longer than I expected.
