Why I’m mad at the Girl Scouts!
It's the cookies, of course! Specifically, the one we all want: Thin Mints. Which I first saw this year in the airport.
TSA ruins my trip
On my way back from an intense visit to parts back east, I was infuriated and harassed once again by the hateful TSA - that's right, the portion of the government that gets 8 billion of our dollars EACH YEAR - and Obama just proposed giving them 3 million more!! -- each year!! To touch and strip us before we pay hundreds of dollars to fly somewhere, because we can't walk there.

He usually does amazing paintings of urban scenes. This one is called, simply, pie."]

I will write more about this elsewhere, but one small part of the airport experience gave me joy - seeing 2 or 3 Girl Scouts at a table, with a banner, selling their famous accessory, The Cookies. I made a note to myself to come back and buy some, but in the stress of the moment, as I was taking pictures of the TSA goons as they harassed me, I forgot. That made me very sad on the trip home here, because, as you know, there is no food on airlines any more now, just canned air and loss of individual liberty.
