Thursday 7 November 2002 - SFO to Dulles and onwards to Germany

7 November 2002 EN  Hi everyone.  Twenty years ago today, I flew not only to Frankfurt am Main, but I also flew farther to Nuremberg and took the train to Hamburg Hbf.  I had my passport and rail pass ready.  You could not tell the excitement to be going back in Europe again.

DE  Hallo allerseits. Heute vor 20 Jahren bin ich nicht nur nach Frankfurt am Main geflogen, sondern bin noch weiter nach Nürnberg geflogen und mit dem Zug nach Hamburg Hbf gefahren. Ich hatte meinen Reisepass und Bahnpass bereit. Man konnte die Aufregung, wieder nach Europa zurückzukehren, nicht spüren.

DK  Hej allesammen. For tyve år siden i dag fløj jeg ikke kun til Frankfurt am Main, men jeg fløj også længere til Nürnberg og tog toget til Hamburg Hbf. Jeg havde mit pas og togkort klar. Man kunne ikke mærke spændingen over at tage tilbage til Europa igen.

SE  Hej allihopa. För tjugo år sedan idag flög jag inte bara till Frankfurt am Main, utan jag flög också längre till Nürnberg och tog tåget till Hamburg Hbf. Jag hade mitt pass och tågpass redo. Man kunde inte säga spänningen över att åka tillbaka till Europa igen.

FR  Salut tout le monde. Il y a vingt ans aujourd'hui, je n'ai pas seulement pris l'avion pour Francfort-sur-le-Main, mais j'ai également pris l'avion plus loin pour Nuremberg et pris le train pour Hambourg Hbf. J'avais mon passeport et mon passe ferroviaire prêts. Vous ne pouviez pas dire l'excitation de retourner en Europe.

Good morning!  I had spent the night at my parent's house in Los Altos, so that my mother would take me to SFO airport.  I did not eat much for breakfast, just coffee and toast.  I had my bags packed, my small green North Face bag, and my brand new roller bag, a spruce green bag with red stitching "Rick Steves" as I bought it from the Rick Steves Europe travel site.  I also had bought my rail pass from the Rick Steves website, and also received some rail maps for the journey.

About 5:30 AM, my mother took me to SFO along I-280, as that was the less travelled way, as compared to US-101.  We also went along I-380 and just a little south, to Terminal 3.  That is where the domestic flights for United Airlines at the time departed from.  I think we arrived around 6:15 AM, plenty of time to check in.  I said goodbye to my mother, and I promised her I would buy a Schwibb-bogen from Nuremberg, which were those Christmas candle whirligigs, that one would likely find at the Handwerkerhof close to Nürnberg Hbf.  Then I checked in my roller bag, and went along with my backpack.  At the time, I did not have a video camera, as the old one, a Canon 8 mm with stereo sound, had worn itself out, and I just did not have any desire then, to carry so much weight.  So I had just audiotapes, 35 mm film and appropriate batteries.  I did not have any liquids in my luggage so I did not have to worry.  I had to take of my shoes to get through security, as well as take off my jacket and show any electronic devices.  It took about five minutes to go through.

My flight to Washington Dulles would not board until about 8 AM.  In the meantime, I tuned into 94.9 FM, and as it was a Thursday, the Dog House was playing.  Elvis (Medina) had made quite a funny prank call, it was a long lost relative, but it kind of went downhill.  

The plane boarded about 8:00 and departed about 8:45 AM.  I was in a two-aisle 767 plane, I think I might have been in an aisle seat in the economy class.  At that time, the individual entertainment was sort of "bronze age" as compared to the stone age where there was only one choice of entertainment.  At least this time, there were four channels to choose from, and maybe ten audio channels.  There was nothing particularly noteworthy.  The flight took off on time.  The weather was decent, low 40s, and at Washington Dulles, it was in the low 60s and partly cloudy.  I think the plane landed at Dulles Terminal C around 3 PM.

I did not go outside the Terminals C or D, as I did not find at the time that there was anything interesting to see at terminals A or B.  The interterminal mobile lounges were still the only way to go from one terminal to the other.  You could tell the ones that just went from one terminal to the other, from the ones that could raise themselves to the aircraft boarding level.  I have not rode on the ones with the shark fins, since April 1983 when I first flew out of Washington Dulles.

I had a snack at Washington Dulles, in Terminal C.  Then the rest of the time, I listened to the local radio stations for Washington DC.  I tried not to record too much, as I had to save enough tape for radio stations in Germany.  My flight would board around 4:15 PM and take off around 5:15 PM.  In the USA, in general, passports are not stamped on exiting, but they are for entering, at least they used to be.  The flight to Frankfurt Rhein Main airport was a Boeing 777, larger than the 767 from SFO.  My seating was decent, considering it was in Economy class.  The food was okay, nothing noteworthy.  Breakfast was just a pastry and a yogurt as well as coffee.

Please tune in again, for the remainder of the journey, on 8th November 2002, when I fly from Frankfurt am Main to Nuremberg, take the U2 all the way to Hbf and take the ICE train to Hamburg via Würzburg, Kassel, Göttingen and Hannover.  And a couple of new songs I heard that day on HR3 (89.3 FM in Frankfurt), have stuck in my head ever since.

Gute Nacht!

I love when I email a venue's specific ADA email to ask in which ways they're wheelchair accessible because that's the only way I'll be able to travel that far and they say "we'll get back to you in 72 hours" ....it's been 5 days and no response so I'm not going to risk buying tickets :[

Kinda realized now that she has a Dragapult there’s never a dull day at the league offices. Glimmet in her hair, her Veluza channeling obscure YouTube poops in the minds of any poor passerby to his aquarium, and Dreepys flying by and phasing through shit at Mach 1

"Have you heard? There's this thing in the world of the living called "dating app" that's been rising in popularity among the young folks. Wanna give it a try and see who can get the most dates in a week? Winner gets to ask loser to spill three secrets, plus 1000 Kan paid in cash. How 'bout that?"

"Absolutely no~" was the immediate, jovial answer to such an absurd suggestion. What she was trying to barter with was secrets and that was not a currency Yumichika would ever do business with - even with a friend like Rangiku. Otherwise this whole competition of popularity did sound quite intriguing in a way, though slightly bizarre. Arranging dates and meeting lots of new people was a bit of a hassle, wasn't it? And what did those modern people even do on dates? What would they talk about? He had no clue.

"I'm not looking to date anyone right now, thank you very much", the continuation soon came, flat and sounding like a poor excuse. Of course he wouldn't say anything about the real reason why this idea of hers was instantly off the table.

Basically you need to opt in to see dicks and properly tag titty but yes, we are back to the T in tumblr meaning titty and M meaning "member" *winkwink*.

I tried to follow the link to opt in but either it’s not available yet on mobile, I need a mobile update, or I’m utterly technologically inept tonight (most likely explanation) and cannot find it in settings.

I’ll try again with fresh eyes after some sleep.

EDIT: I’m seeing posts that say it’s not available on mobile, so I’ll try to remember whenever I’m next on my laptop.

i have so many questions about spider society, actually. there are sooo many teenage spider - people, how and when do they decide to step in and recruit them? are there living quarters somewhere? there's gotta be!! are there common rooms? or do they just find someplace to live in the city outside? are they paid WAGES for this work? if so, by... who...? if it's purpose is to preserve a spider - verse stability, isn't intersecting all spider - people across every dimension the very thing that would accelerate chances of instability? i have. Questions

Meet the Artist: @mirshroom

Howdy! I'm Mir (she/they), a Korean American freelance artist based in Texas. I guess a flex in my artist career is me winning first place in a one- shot manga competition hosted by SHUIESHA and Tite Kubo (creator of Bleach manga) but nowadays, I like to lounge around at home with my crusty white dog and draw my favorite characters from manga and mobile games. I frequently travel around to vend at conventions so feel free to stop by and say hello if I happen to be at your local con~

Nice to meet you, Mir! She has shared some artworks they have created for you all below.

Check out more of Mir's art over on their Tumblr, @mirshroom!
