Never mind

Flip-flop on air marshal schedules

Pennywise and pound foolish

Air marshals pulled from key flights

"The decision to drop coverage on flights that many experts consider to be at the highest risk of attack apparently stems from a policy decision to rework schedules so that air marshals don’t have to incur the expense of staying overnight in hotels."

Discovering Gold

I spent the day going to and strolling Pasadena, courtesy of the new Gold Line extention of the light rail system. They were giving everyone free rides and having mini-celebrations at each stop. Much to my amazment, the trains were standing-room only, each stop was packed and the guy said the wait to get on was three hours earlier in the day. I thought only I was geeky enough to be curious about a mass transit system.

I also used a Border's gift certificate I got for my birthday to buy three Brazilian music CDs, two of which turned out to be pretty cool compilations.
