      What's the old saying?

      "The dildo of karma rarely arrives lubed."

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I’m sitting in Newark airport, which I generally try to avoid, but United has a nonstop to Naples and no one else does.

        This is the same United that didn’t deliver my bag coming back from Munich. Still missing since 8/26.

        I’ve never outright lost a bag before. They always got them to me in a day or three on the few times I lost one.

        This could be a first.

        By the way I’m not checking a bag today. I packed light.

        I have been lucky. In all my travels, I have only had a bag delayed one time, and it was delivered the next day.

        I have purchased Air Tags and put one of those in my check suitcase when I travel now. I think it would be helpful if ever the bag goes missing.

          I did too, after that loss. I carried the bag on the flight, and still used an AirTag. That’s how traumatized I am. Lol

          If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

            I just got a note from Lufthansa, they found my bag and are forwarding it to Newark!

              I caught that email as I take a quick stop for lunch - in Pompei. Can’t complain about my day.

                    A great lifetime friend married a Neapolitan girl while n the Navy. She's a delight and can cook up a storm.

                    So, are you biking or driving?

                      Bike. My big cape cod event is 2 weeks from Friday, so it’s an inconvenient time to be traveling for a week

                                That is an excellent looking pizza.

                                  Yeah, it’s like they brought in some New Yorkers to show them how to make them right.
