====================
 ML> Taste memory is a wonderful thing. Taste imagination is as well.
 GJ> One reason for keeping a record of such foods, to revive the memory.

Which is more or less why I continue to post reports here.

 GJ> In Australia pensioners get dicounts for just about everything, and in
 GJ> some Asian and European countries where the elderly are given due
 GJ> respect, I have received benefits, such as long distance bus tickets
 GJ> given at the EU seniors' half price rates in Madrid and Naples.  Of
 GJ> course I always ask if I can get seniors' rates.

I discover that in some jurisdictions I am now entitled to
such, if I remember to check up on it. When traveling with
Lilli, things are much easier - I just link arms with her
and say, two seniors, please.

 GJ> I noticed in another msg you made a comment about chili and coconut.
 GJ> last week I made a goat curry with coconut cream, and when freshly
 GJ> made, the 4 chilies in it gave quite a strong effect - nose running,
 GJ> etc - but several hours later that had deteriorated to quite a mild
 GJ> flavour, and by next day the chili had vanished, leaving only the
 GJ> coconut as the dominant flavour.

What a disappointment!

 TSA> and more intense than those from common lighters. 
 GJ> I wonder what that would be used for?  Lighting a hookah?
 ML> TSA claims cigars and pipes - in either case I am
 ML> apprehensive that users might burn their hair or noses.
 GJ> Or someone else's, depending on where it is directed.

That was probably the concern, though using them as weapons
seems a little far-fetched. It is said, though, that the
flame is sufficient to cut some metals.

 ML> I apparently fit into several incompatible ones. I am told
 ML> that come midyear I will be offered Global Entry for free
 ML> (regular price $100 or so), a program that prescreens trusted
 ML> travelers and then allows entry by handprint identification.
 GJ> Is that truly Global, or just in USA?

Good for entry into the USA from anyplace. Not otherwise useful.

 ML> On the other hand, I recently was given a secondary screening
 ML> probably because there were congressmen hanging around needing
 ML> to be impressed at how efficient the government guys are.
 GJ> While your president is getting friendly with a future Chinese leader.

Invest in the future, isn't that what you're supposed to do?
