Forgot moisturizer once and my face felt like paper, @lucas_moore.

The Frankfurt lounge was forty bucks and totally worth it...

Man... that's just airport security being way too jumpy these days. I had something similar happen with a bag of trail mix once... they pulled me aside and swabbed everything. It totally ruins the whole point of trying to save a few bucks when you get delayed for half an hour. They treat any homemade food like it's some kind of weird science project. Honestly, they need better training so normal stuff doesn't set them off. Makes you just want to buy the overpriced airport food next time... which is probably what they want anyway.

Silicon Valley designs gadgets for perfect voices, ignoring accents like my grandpa's.

Forget rushing to the hard parts. I mean, the basics teach you control. Without that, you're just asking for trouble.
