.
I was one of those people too.
I smoked on my London trip as a 14 yr old.
Nobody cared.
Except my uncle/ MS history teacher in charge of our group
when he busted me.
It was a 747 and smoking was allowed in the upstairs lounge.
I smoked on planes all the time.
Looking back it should have been illegal.
@realplayer You'll find it!
It took me a long time to know my sling bag was "the one".
It took me some trial and error. The "study abroad" leather bag was too small.
Backpack was good when I didn't have a car but wasn't comfortable with security when using both shoulder straps.
My messenget bag is large enough for general use.
It's also is a stealth briefcase.
I've been handling massive amounts of paperwork, forms, documents, etc. for a couple years, and I'm still doing that.
Good luck!

Am I the last to know?
I found out tonight!
Joe, nice bag and suited to purpose.
This brings me to ask what type of second bag are you looking for- I mean what type of bag do you need and what do you want to use it for?
One of those where were you when questions.
All good.
Captain Cook. Same as Diana story. Different details.
I got place wrong with Diana post. It was the apartment where I lived in Arizona, Prescott Valley for 4 yrs.
I blame age.
So. TV on. Roommate is watching.
I'm in kitchen on phone with the military credit union outside MacDill, Air Force base in Tampa.
He walks in the kitchen and says airplanes hit the WTC towers!
I literally said I'm sure they did but I'm on the phone with my bank.
The employee tells me the credit union is being evacuated.
Walked into living room, started watching the TV, what else.
So my roommate told me, and my mind refused to process it in the moment.

@andyd Well said.
The same thing happened here (not surprisingly).
Has it been that long?
Do you want to see my new one?
It fits folders like a glove.
I got it about a week ago.
I got rid off my backpack.
I got rid of the Toscanella travel bag I got in 2025.
And they stopped making it (and many others).
I kept this one-

It's a sling bag but after you use it for a few years the leather relaxes and bends.
Then you see it's actually an ancient sling bag design that would have been used to plant seeds.
I bought their recommended product and cleaned it.
I'm done. I'm keeping these two.
Good luck, Joe.
Peridot. Richard Yard.
It reminds me of the old saying about the Tiffany's counter- if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.
I thought that slogan was silly at the time- but it made a point.
Happy Birthday, jon! 
@shirokuro It is fun to pretend!
My Android Magic OS options are around $1,500.
I can pretend I need one or want to buy one.
It's a minor, pleasant distraction for me.
Of course. Lol, Joe.

Ok, I lell my HS story. My best friend Hara and I were the two alternates.
We couldn't serve well enough.
We had no game to speak of.
We didn't have the knowledge needed to get through a match.
If we had the experience we would still not have the stamina.
So we enjoyed hitting with each other. I loved hitting in the concrete "courts" they have for this.
We spent a lot of time together at city parks for tennis.
We listened to music (Broadway, Streisand, almost every album). No disrespect to Streisand at all, but when I hear her voice now, I switch it off. It was definitely a brief musical phase for me though.
We talked outback dating (others, not each other, lol).
Good times.
I wish I could have done more in HS but there wasn't much opportunity for playing tennis in inner city Tampa, and more to the point, I didn't have the opportunity to take lessons.
So yeah. Glorified waterboy. Lol!
Yeah that's why I'm keeping my trusty Moto Edge 2024.
I've put what I need on it. It has an OLED not LED screen; that makes it possible for me to read the screen without difficulty assuming I have my readers on. It's also night and day to me in terms of watching videos.
It's paid for.
The battery retention is very good IDK why.
I want to add a landline. I'm in touch with family members now from way back.
I want to talk old school where you can't hang up on the person because your cellphone screen accidentally tapped the side of your head.
I mean think about. You can't hold a cellphone again your ear with pressure and leverage applied. You have to hold it so it doesn't touch your ear.
A second option is more important to me than a nicer phone.
However... (here I will surprise nobody)... I do have a cellphone wishlist.
Flagship, China, Magic OS.
I can't imagine wanting to actually buy anything like that in '06 or '07.
I'll probably buy another Edge if I have to buy something.
The new models have large OLED screens (6.5- 7.0 range, the size I want), stronger processors,larger batteries, water and dust certification, etc.
They still only cost about $500 or $600.
Now that's a peridot (and VCA). But this is a good example (of how beautiful one can be but also...) the story we were told about some gems being valuable and some "semi" is BS.
Prince Anne on jewelry. Is she a diplomat or what.
Link to video@wtg Is that a rhetorical question?
