I did the Cactus to the Clouds hike in Palm Springs yesterday. Slept in my car after driving over so I could start in the predawn cool weather at 4am. 8 hours, 8500 vertical feet and 12 miles later I reached the Aerial Tram Station.

- Better off Ted on Netflix
- Chess Tactics for Champions by Susan Polgar
- Battlestar Galactica on Netflix

United Airlines Oversold Flight

US Border Patrol and Customs- Massive Taxpayer Waste
I am not a fan of the massive waste of US tax dollars that is the whole Customs and Border Patrol system. I think there should be open borders- both ways of course though. Free trading between countries would massively increase global wealth for everyone.
United Airlines Lost My Luggage
I only brought carry-on items for my flight to Mexico City so that I could be sure I kept my luggage with me at all times and it was not lost. Prior to boarding, the gate agent got on the intercom and said everyone needed to bring their wheeled carry-ons up to the front to have them checked because United Airlines had overbooked the flight and wouldn’t have enough room for everyone’s carry-ons.… read more “United Airlines Lost My Luggage”
