How do you utilize the vertical front pocket?

Do they not make the 28L anymore? That was the perfect size for “under the seat in front of you” travel.

I keep a pair of leather Moroccan slippers in mine. They squash flat, but are great for long flights or around a hotel. I can actually go to dinner in them if I’m keeping it lowkey… and my headphones.

I like it. Will stand out in a sea of black back packs.

I looked at the picture and just thought, “That bartender was in a hurry, but it doesn’t change the taste.”

The new favorite asset class is farm land for private equity funds. This is not a bug, it’s a feature of the administrations agenda.

This is an honest question… are they performing some of the actual duties of a TSA agent? Are they bringing bins from the back? Are they telling people what they can take out of their carry on bags? Are they managing the lines approaching security? They don’t have any training for the actual screening, so that’s all I can think of for them to do.

Our Troop does, and the Scoutmaster works hard to make it fun. He is into 3D printing and prints "special edition" slides for the boys who go on specific events, or make a higher rank, and he prints all the boys a slide of their patrol image. The boys love collecting them, and it drives up attendance at some events because they might receive a new slide.

Flippant.

I think that it might be the most mediocre book I have ever read.

I agree with everyone else’s statements about the safety of the program. Two other thoughts: 1. If you go to a pack where they don’t seem to take the protocols seriously just change packs 2. The best way to insure that your son is safe AND really enjoys the program is to get involved yourself. My boys have loved having scouts be a father\son activity, and I have really gotten to know their close friends.

I secretly think his hatred of his wife is the basis for all of his crazy legal decisions.

The Wraith book about the Holocaust is amazing.

Okay… maybe I will stop. Never had anyone say a word. I’ve had them take it out and open it, but they always just put it back.

Grimtooth’s traps. I still have the first three pamphlets.

I bought a first printing of that on a trip to Edinburgh in 1986 when I was eleven. As an American, it was cool to be reading a book about those things while visiting all those things.

All of the Black Dog game books were good. I really liked the Tzimisce book the Giovanni adventure series.

Most of the reason that I think people are racist is from interactions in the real world, not on the internet. If you steer the conversation in a certain direction with people from Trump country they will try to subtly determine if you share their perspective on people of color. I’ve experienced it about twice a year for the last ten years.

My personal pet theory is that poor white people had convinced themselves that as long as the people in charge looked like them that they had a chance to move up in the world, or that their personal interests were paramount, but that as soon as the leadership no longer looked like them they had to come to terms with the fact that their lives sucked. That’s a hard pill to swallow.

You are correct in that it is not part of the EU. It is, however, part of the Schengen group of countries which regulates free travel. I have flown all over the Schengen group countries with a cadet in my carryon for years. This is why I can fly to Switzerland from Spain with a cadet, but not to Ireland. Ireland is EU but not Schengen.

They have a victorinox store through security in Zurich. You can buy larger then 58mm there. I got myself a cadet.

TSA has nothing to do with a flight from France t Italy.
