Shit. I had to take a two day one night trip to SFO and just got back last afternoon. Now I leave again tonight. I have to pack.

Dood. Hope you see this before you depart. I wish you a smooth flight and small headwind vectors. Looks like you're going to have to punch through the jet
stream, pretty much no matter how you slice it. Expect some bumps from that, especially if you're further north than about 32N.
DM your flight if so inclined, I can reply with a better weather brief.

Its far as fuck. I am fairly energized but starting to sense depression and alienation feelings behind the curtains. Its a huge family holiday here today and it
feels like it. Yet here I am spending it away from mine. I might have to go see wily for some bagels or a mediocre pizza that doesn't have squid on it.
Sadly my only other remaining friend here had his office shut down and is now back in america looking for work. Wily and me are the last ones standing. Even
BTDO probably outsourced his dentist chairs to India by now.
Still, traveling like that is almost like time traveling. I am watching a bunch of time travel distorted reality shows and movies and having a walk in an
American mall and 12 hours later being surrounded by completely different people smells sounds and weather is a bit like that. It could be 1998 or 1850 that I
went to. How would I really know the year if I didnt have a reference point? Who says I didn't just travel a year back in time? Or a year forward? I just sat
for 12 hours in a flying alluminum can and how do I know what happened in the meanwhile? Its all strangeness.
I think long distance pilots must have weird thoughts like that. How weird is it that they have an American burger for lunch in NYC and shit it out in a Korean
toilet? How weird is it that the toilet bowl is smaller in asia than in USA?

The plumbing in China also weirds me out. The sinks have the flexible translucent plastic hoses. Whilst solid PVC pipes are used in USA. You can see all sorts
of filth inside those hoses from years of accumulation. Must be easier to install but I feel like I could Crack it with a solid pinch.
How weird is it that in asia most buildings are made from concrete while in america they are wood and insulation and drywall? A person could punch all the way
through to the outside in most American homes with a bit of effort.

Another weird thing is i am of average height and build in america but all of a sudden I am a big dude here. My mind is still like that but people react
differently to someone half a foot taller and say 30 pounds heavier. Its like being 6'6" and 240 lbs in america all of a sudden. Weirdness.

An entire, thronging country inhabited by those whose heights are Unpoasted. Many such cases.
