I still don't see. If the organization had decided the other way, would you
be in favor of the nations changing to "aluminum"? I suspect not. The
organization you mention is for certain international usage conventions. It
has nothing to do with the words used in common language in various nations.

As I said, you have odd ideas. The concept of a nation of 300 million
changing a word in everyday use, one that has been in use for 100 years,
because a minor international body decided a certain version was standard is
beyond silly. Not to mention, that same body accepts the US version as a
recognized variant.

The general trend is that air fares are up in the past year or so,
relative to a long stable interval lasting the previous 15 or so years.

Only if a discount carrier such as Southwest or Jetblue is operating in
a given market will fares be low.

I note that Southwest now flies out of Dulles, not sure if that
helps your son's ability to fly for cheap.

Well, that's very interesting to know and thanks for sharing. However all
it takes in this country to get your finger prints on record is to turn

whether it's a full Sunday roast or a jam sandwich,
but only when done with love.

Sometimes I even put it in the food.

It's possible for a traveler to have a medical emergency
that prevents him traveling home for weeks, or even months.
Say, they are in traction or somthing. In such an event
it might be advantageous for a loved one to go visit them.

There are outfits that will get you a U.S. passport in as
little as three days, if you pay them many hundreds of
dollars. I prefer to have a passport already on hand.

What you say is true. I worked 11 years for one employer, which
got me up to 5 weeks. The next real employer gave me four weeks,
out of recognition of my level of experience in the industry
(translated as, they didn't want to decrease my benefit by too much).

Whereas while self-employed, I can usually travel 8 or 9 weeks
per year.

what I hear traveling in today's world is a big hassle (not to mention
dangerous). I stopped flying shortly after the advent of bagged
peanuts and male stewards... I definitely don't want some flouncy male

I did most of my US traveling by automobile.
