Oh...and it was old Kermit, too. Makes me even sadder.
One thing I have found with security staff is sometimes they give you orders/tell you to do something and just assume that you know what they are talking about. Yes, I'm sure they've SAID it all ten thousand times - but it's the first time I heard it. And for those of us who travel a good deal - every place on earth has different rules. But it shouldn't be that hard to just BE NICE. And if you work for the Smithsonian - you're representing AMERICA. So please don't be an a$$. We haven't had a friendly TSA chap in a while...I won't hold my breath. And I love kids (though I'll be honest, the "tiny baby" stage wasn't my favourite) - but it IS nice to have a broader range of conversational topics from which to choose as they get older. I think the other thing (with The Queen) is that she lives twenty minutes away from my brother and his kids. So she really KNOWS them. Whereas Poot - it's almost like he's a different child every time she sees him. Though the arguing/debate thing doesn't help. |

I'm pleased that we're back in D.C., it seems to be safer than Baltimore based on your experiences so far. Apart from a couple of rude shouters that is. I've always been of the opinion that if you ask people something the right way you'll never have to tell them to do anything. Certainly not roar and shout at them.
I'm finding your reports really interesting. There is just the right mix of educational info, humorous anecdotes and bird pictures. Must remember to wear nice socks during my couple of days in Washington next year just in case I am asked to pull up my pants. Best to be prepared. |

Teehee...nice socks.
I'm still not sure what that was about. Did she think I had a knife tucked into my boot? Silly woman, OF COURSE I keep my knife in my brassiere. Thank you for the kind words. Looking back over this report, I can see how "rough and ready" it was compared to some trippies. If it has been of any use to you - I am delighted. |
