I think I had this exact same snippet of conversation at least four times today:
Me: … blah blah blah I’ll be on vacation for a week.
Other Person: Oh, where are you going?
Me: Indiana.
Other Person: … Family?
I suppose to everyone else, there’s no other conceivable reason why anyone would voluntarily go to Indiana. I’m sort of glad I didn’t go to GenCon now, ’cause I would have had to explain it…
And I just found out that all of my flights are equipped with power plugs, so I can use my laptop free from the constraints of my battery life! Of course, they’re the cigarette lighter type, so I have to lug around my power inverter, instead of finally getting use out of the $40 airline power plug I bought for my laptop exactly a year ago for AXNY (wow, it’s been a year already?) but didn’t end up using because they didn’t have the plug…
