Of the many, many TSA regulations, the 3-1-1 rule about liquids is one of the most unnecessary, arbitrary rules you’ll encounter while traveling. How much time has been lost while staring at bath and body products the night before a trip, debating if the item in front of us is liquid or a solid? And …
Happy Summer! Weather-wise it’s felt like summer here since, oh, April or so – but now that the kids are out of school and the college students have returned to their hometowns for the next few months, my city has thinned out and I’m finally getting to enjoy a slower pace of life. This post …

I’ve seen the mercury reach up and graze the ninety-degree mark already …
