His lawyer said it doesn’t make sense why they don’t release him. Of course it does. There are individuals in the current regime who own (if partially) the private companies that operate the “detention centers” which are being paid lucrative contracts with US taxpayer money. Straight up corruption.

Sitting at the gate at PSP and realized I forgot my iPad in the hotel room. Ran my ass to an uber, and when I got back, the precheck lane was straightup empty, so I might have beaten your time, thanks to luck. Then the flight got delayed. Gotta love small airports.

The divergence between condos and houses is craaazy. SF neighborhood real estate prices are as micro as the climates. Oakland is better but we’ve been priced out of houses here for a long time. I’m glad you like the Castro but it’s too cold for me. If we buy it’ll have to be in Walnut Creek 😭

Buying the current (relative) dip in the SF market is a good idea. There’s deals out there now especially for condos, it’s tempting for me, but HOA fees are so astronomical.

I was considering flying with them more this year, with the addition of assigned seats, but charging for bags means I will fly with United, Delta, or Alaska instead. Southwest costs more than any of them at this point so it doesn’t make sense.

…And the exhale is releasing all the tension I’ve been feeling
On the surface and beneath me, I’m connecting to my spirit
And I’m here now right before you, present in this moment
And our life’s work is to honor the beauty all around you”

My philosophy is: babies cry. So what? It sucks, but you would cry too if you were in their place, being made to fly, kept awake, dealing with air pressure, etc. All my flights, the parents made every effort and I commend them for that. No complaints from me ever.
