Bill: Weds. March 5: off to the Bay Area!

Today is Eight Months.

Bill and Ayn are fans of Grateful Dead music. This past week they set off to Terrapin Crossroads, a venue in the Bay Area for Deadheads! 

Here they are, preparing to go through TSA screening.  The agents were very nice.  Bill had called TSA the day before their flight, and got direct calls back from PDX and SFO within 20 minutes. An agent met us at the airline counter for the escort back. (The airline agent, however, was a bit of a ditz, but nothing fatal.)  As I watched from afar, I saw that the couldn't stack their electronics in one of those slide-through bins.  SO: one bin for a Mac Air, another bin for the other Mac Air, one bin for the two iPads, one bin for cell phones and one pair of shoes.  By the time they were ready to go to the hand screening area, I believe their were four or five agents to push him, carry his cane, and carry all the bins and carry-ons.

Bill posted various pics on Facebook, so if you're connected to him, these are just repeats.

To get from the airport to their hotel, they had three buses. Two good drivers, one jerk. I guess that happens, but I have to believe humanity is better than that, and they just got a bad draw.
