You know, that wasn't so bad. Just landed at JFK---one of my earplugs magically disappeared before landing and I was ready to totally panic in anticipation of the pain of landing without them, considering how bad my landing in Oakland was with them. But I used my pinkies, and was resolute in leaving them in and yawning till we hit the ground, and it didn't hurt that much.
But it's such a silly problem to have and I really should do something about it. Otherwise I really like travelling.

An artcle about animal rights activists in Boulder who found GPS sensors on their cars. Strangely difficult to read, but maybe that's because it's so early. Thanks to Test Cod on linkfilter.
