    Interesting ‘pressure index’ created by Deutsche Bank doing a kind of technical analysis on the TACO trade.

    I thought about that but I’m sore that’s a multi hour wait too from all the people who figured out they can feign a broken foot and ‘skip’ the line.

    I’ve gone through the wheelchair method before when I was really sick. It was pretty slow overall in normal circumstances even through you skip the security line. You go to a waiting area, wait in line for a clerk who enters your info into a system, then sit and wait for your guide. Can’t imagine how busy that system is during these times.

    Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "The fact that they are now talking about negotiations is an admission of defeat; didn’t they claim unconditional surrender before?

    So why are they now mobilizing their top officials to negotiate?"

    Well it’s clear the administration is negotiating with somebody there. Sounds like the people he’s talking to don’t have suppprt of some or all of the IRGC. If you recall he said he didn’t want to give a name so that the person didn’t get killed.

    It’s really hard to know what’s going on now.

    Maybe the Iranian equivalent to Rudolf Hess?

    Exactly.

    I assume Iran war. It’s off brand for him, reporting says he counseled Trump against, yet he’s going to have to defend it.

    I sleep and/or listen to podcasts. If it’s an overnight flight I’ll use some pharmacological assistance. Every once in a while I’ll watch a movie. Definitely so if it’s coast to coast or returning from Europe.

    I suppose that means he’s running in 28.

    Proof Evidence that running is good for losing weight.

    One thing I have going for me is that our local district spring break (what we planned this trip around) is a week earlier than NYCs. That should help a lot with the crowds.

    I have a 10am flight from JFK to Hong Kong on Friday (connecting on to Bangkok). I can only get there so early because Cathay Pacific doesn’t open their baggage check until 6. So we’ll get there a little before 6, check our bags, get in line for security at 6:15 or so and hope for the best.

    Mayla never qualified for Clear or PreCheck until she got her green card a couple months ago and we didn’t get it yet in the little time we’ve had. So it’s the long line for us.

    True. Though in fairness most on the map have only a minority defacating openly. Most people in these countries use actual shit holes.

    I witnessed it in India. I was driving through a favela in a taxi.
