Bad seating

So who designed this seating, really? What was the point in forcing people's legs into each other? Didn't realize matchmaking and footsie was part of the travel ribbon #Fail

Best airport Chinese Food award!!!!

The best Airport Chinese Food award goes to Panda Express in DCA concourse B, opposite gate 28. Good Kung Pao chicken. good Orange chicken. Good vegetables, relatively crisp. They always have chopsticks and the staff are friendly to boot!

Leica M9 Battery Issue

I'm having bizarre battery issues with my M9. Pop in a fully charged battery. Camera says "battery low". No pattern to the issue. Occurs with my two genuine nine month old batteries. Anyone else having this problem? I wrote to Leica Technical who claimed no knowledge of this issue. I have seen some posts on the Internet complaining about this exact same issue. Very sad to see such poor performance in a $7000 machine. Is this „Deutsche Gruendlichkeit"?

Inconvenient airports

There are airports and then there are airports whose sole purpose in life seems to be to inconvenience the harried travelers transiting through them. Left with no choice (you aren't going to take your flight from a different airport) one is forced to resign oneself to one's fate.

I thought DFW Dallas was bad. You get to security, unload your possessions in plastic tubs, push them to the head of the line and then traverse a gap of four to five feet (times three, for the average traveler with laptop, toiletries, carry-on, laptop bag). I cannot imagine my mother having to go through such hassle.

So, remember that I said I thought Dallas was bad? Well, BOD Bordeaux is worse. You traverse a four foot gap TWICE per item or plastic tub. I mean, what the f***? Merde. Which yahoo designed this securité, s'il vous plait? Trou du cul.

Who designed this seating?

Nothing says traveler comfort like seating that forces your legs into the path of your seat mate. Way to go, DFW Terminal C.
