After a few weeks away, we’re back with our first episode of 2023. The joke doesn’t seem travel-related on first blush, but it very much is as far as my travel track record is concerned. Come to think of it, the national day is all about me as well. The husband tries but (mostly) fails to stump me on this week’s Travel Quiz. The rest of the time we discuss our trip to Death Valley. Well, not the destination exactly, but all the peripheral stuff: flight delays, airport lounges, flight attendants who don’t follow the rules, that sort of thing. Peppered throughout this discussion is a motley assortment of travel news from horrible turbulence to boa constrictors to Read ID. Buckle up—it’s a wild ride.

Funny, I always assumed it was the passengers who didn’t follow the rules, not the flight attendants. I’m going to have to listen to this one to get the deets!

And I’m so glad to finally have a direct line of communication to you. I haven’t been ignoring your posts. I’ve been commenting but they aren’t showing up. I’ve even tried replying to other people’s comments, but to no avail. I just found out I’ve been going to another blogger’s spam folder, so maybe I’m going to yours, too?

Well, sure enough! I never check that folder as WP does a pretty good job of filtering out spam. I just approved a bunch of your comments that were hung up in there. Weird, as every other one was legitimate spam. Thanks for tipping me off. I’ll have to go back and read/respond to these now!

What was WP thinking? My comments aren’t spammy! They’re soulful and deep, no? 😉

It’s the weirdest thing. I’ll never understand their algorithm. Maybe you dropped an “F” bomb or something.

10th Mountain Division is well known here in mountain/ski country. A few years ago one of its last surviving members, age 90+, did a talk in our town. Also mentioned in my recent Aspen post!
