I'm not an accident attorney nor do I play one in a TV series!
On the way home I was in the outside lane behind someone slow to start away from a red light easily 5 seconds after it turned green. It's a 6 lane divided road with turn lanes and the speed limit is 45mph. He was doing 30. Getting ready to go around, I looked in my rear view mirror. I could see flashing lights of a Fire Rescue Ambulance... one of the big ones and the car in front hits the brakes and prepares to make a full stop. Really.

I waited for the ambulance to pass (he was in the middle lane) and I got into the middle lane too... yeah, except for the ambulance doing 60, it was empty. So... I casually followed for a few miles and coincidentally made the right turn toward the hospital. He took a left at the hospital and I continued straight.

A horrible story about a 31-year old Dutch man on vacation in Spain decides to do a cliff diving stunt while his wife captures the video event in a nearby boat.
This happens at the Malgrats Islands on Thursday afternoon. The man strikes the side of the cliff on the way down that renders him unconscious where he drowns. Autopsy reveals he suffered a broken hip and arm.
Sadly the wife and son both witnessed the event.

I noticed the local pharmacy had remove the plastic shields at the registers. None of the grocery store staff are wearing masks. A small percentage of the customers in several stores are making up.
Things appeared to be getting back to normal and now I see the office staff at two physician's office are masking up this month saying some of their patients have tested positive for COVID, or variant.

Working remote and only go to my office when needed keeps me away from the crowd. At least seven friends, coworkers and family have been hit. Some had COVID more than a year ago and describe this round as headaches, sore throat, fever, but all said little or no respiratory issues they experienced before. Some only self-quarantined 3 to 4 days or until they test negative.

I'm planning a trip to see my brother next month and since his kidney transplant, is under visitor restriction. I'll be staying in the guest bedroom at his house.
The flight to see him doesn't have any non-stop flights and the last time I have to use 2 different airlines. My preference is to book the same airline for the entire trip with the connecting flight in a smaller airport with less wait between flights.
I'll bring along some test kits and mask up while on the plane.

My trip back from Ohio started off good. 17 degrees, super windy but no snow. The connecting flight was in Charlotte, North Carolina and I received a text message the flight plan changed to a different gate. This time it was on the other end of the airport. No problem, I consider that the same as my morning walk in Florida.
Beautiful skies around 50 degrees but no time to enjoy as I had less than 30 minutes to gobble an $8 slice of pizza and head to the new gate. The pizza was actually good and maybe the most expensive price paid for a single slice.

I didn't pay much attention to the plane other than it was huge and probably held 200 passengers and crew. Typically, I wear sound deadening ear plugs and a hoodie jacket to keep my elbows from rubbing the armrests. Cat naps when possible, we had a few hours in the air. Checking the weather radar, it showed all of South Florida covered in rain. Early in the flight the pilot announced we would have to do a slight course change to avoid bad weather adding at least 30 minutes of travel.

A few rows ahead of me were a group of women and their young children, both sides of the aisle, easily a group of 10. While the earplugs muted the sound of the engines, I could hear the 'bing' sounds when the pilot (or crew) made announcements and sometimes I pulled the plug enough to actually hear what was coming over the announcement system.

Turbulence was very high and the seat belt signs were on for the entire flight.
Also for the entire flight were the children whining, talking, crying, shouting and being rambunctious. It never stopped. The guy sitting next to me commented his kid never carried-on the way these children did. While I didn't hear anyone (other than him) being vocal about it, I'm sure they all had similar opinions.

I know it might be a while before we are allowed to travel abroad again, but that has not stopped me from thinking about my next trip. At this moment, the trip will be a week in the United States, to visit a friend in Virginia. That, naturally, led me to look at how much flights are, and when I will have to buy the tickets.

Let's for arguments sake say, that we are allowed to travel again in August 2021, which is a possibility. That would make me able to travel in November, which is where these prices are found!

From Kastrup to Dulles, with stopover in London Heathrow. Departing Copenhagen on the 5th of November, and returning from the USA on the 12th of November. The cheapest is Basic Economy, which is the same type of ticket that my New York trip was: 2370 DKK. The regular Economy is 3210 DKK, while the most expensive ticket, the Premium Economy is 6769 DKK. Seeing as the cheapest ticket is all the way in the back of the flight, with payment to select seats and no luggage unless you pay, that ticket is ruled out. So the question then is: Do I go semi-expensive or do I just go full on luxury experience ticket? The regular Economy is $528 while the Premium Economy is $1115. Both tickets are within my price range, so I am not sure what to pick, if I am honest..

I have always wanted to travel in style, so maybe I should pick the most expensive one? Or maybe just get the semi-expensive, and then spend the remaining money on a nice pair of shoes? Or some new clothes, perhaps? I could easily find some great shoes for the remaining $587.. Or I could exchange them to dollars, and take them with me? So many options..

Traveling to Oslo and looking for a local guide, prefer a female company. Does anyone advise?

Currently, there is a subtropical storm due east of Florida that has a forecast to head west and become a hurricane on Wednesday as it crosses the Bahamas. By Wednesday night, it will be directly over Florida's east coast around the Palm Beach area and guarantee my vacation plans to leave on Thursday will need to be rescheduled.
