Of Phone Booths, Flights, And The TSA

Had the so-so continental breakfast this morning at the motel. Got on the road around 9:30ish for a leisurely drive back to Berkeley no traffic screw-up’s like the last time I came back from Santa Cruz (mid-December).

For some off reason I wasn’t able to find a Santa Cruz postcard usually I can just go to the local Walgreen/CVS and they have some, not here. Guess it means and Oakland card from the airport which as it turns out are only available past security and the post box pre-security they have San Francisco cards, go figure. Luckily the nice information lady said she’d post them when she got off her shift at four.

A little time in Berkeley to eat and pack the bags. Today’s first picture why the TSA opened my bag for a look:

Yep, that’s right, enough liquids, wires, electronics, phones to make anyone suspicious. The photo doesn’t show my other camera since I had to use it to make this shot but it was in there as well.

Yesterday I got a call from MoonSong who was at the ReStore in Ballard and stumbled across something he thought I might like to go with my recently acquired payphone. I took a leap of faith and said yes to the $85 purchase (oddly enough, the same price I paid for the payphone) and this is what I found on my kitchen table upon my return home:

I don’t think this will be it’s final home but it sure does look nice.

Dinner tonight was various marked down items at Uwayjimaya. No energy to cook.

Into bed at 10:30 with the book-tube on.
