It’s nice to be back home and to be able to use my internet connection without watching the minutes and agonize over the time it takes to upload a single picture. I can read all kinds of things such as ‘Boeing stock tumbles after another fire on a 787’, ‘Microsoft announces massive company-wide reorganization’ and ‘Seattle among the snobbiest cities in the USA’ (this one according to a survey done by Travel & Leisure magazine) .. aw, are we that bad? I once worked with a young Texan from Dallas here in the Seattle area, and he was very adamant that Texas has many more beautiful women than Seattle does.
