I have a bit of a whirlwind tour coming up this week. I am located in the UK but have a work trip in several locations in the US. Although checking a bag in won't cost me anything because the company will pay, I'm trying to keep to a carry on 30L bag simply for agility. I will be flying from London to New York, spending a couple of leisure days there, getting a train up to the office in Connecticut for a few days, a flight to Tulsa for a few more days, then flying home. The challenge is variable weather and also fitting into the trip personal days with casual clothing and trying to look smart for the office days. But I've just done a trial pack and think I've just about managed it.
Journey: London -> New York -> Connecticut -> Tulsa -> London in 10 days
Weapon of choice: Osprey Porter 30

​
Tech:
13" laptop
Small 65w USBC charger with interchangeable worldwide plugs (not shown in picture - I left it in the bag but it's very small)
Two powerbanks (one large capacity for the flight and a second smaller one with wireless charging that I can take out with me daily)
2m lightweight USBC cable
Budi 9 in 1 tool set with small USBC cable and various USBC type converters
Jabra Elite earbuds (forgot to put in picture - left them in the bag)
Electric shaver with hair clipper attachment and USBA rechargeable (I'm bald so clip my hair every other day),
GL.INet Mango travel router for connecting multiple devices to a single hotel wifi connection (not shown as a friend is returning it tomorrow but it's a tiny little thing small enough for a pocket). So I can connect my work laptop and my phone easily (also has a VPN).
Notepad and pen
Hero clip
​
Clothing:
2 x merino crew neck jumpers. One grey and one blue (I will wear one on the plane)
3 x chino's. Tan, blue, olive (I will wear one on the plane)
1 x blue polo shirt
3 x blue tshirt (I will wear one on the plane)
1 x black tshirt
1 x lightweight joggers which I will use in the hotel
1 x belt (I will wear it on the plane)
1 x down jacket (I will wear it at the airport check in and then hang it off the hero clip in its sack once landed unless I need to wear it).
1 x packable lightweight rain jacket
4 x merino socks (I will wear one pair)
4 x lightweight synthetic "microfiber" underwear (I will wear one pair). I prefer these to merino and they last longer.
1 x Hackett unstructured navy wool blazer for the office. This is so thin and light that it is about the weight of two jumpers although it is a little more bulky in the bag. I may still leave this at home but it does fit in the bag.
2 x button up shirts for the office folded in an Osprey garment folder. I deliberately chose shirts made of a very thin poplin to reduce weight and space. One white and one blue.
A pair of dark brown suede chukka boots with Dainite soles. I did try to take some other shoes and and a pair of sneakers but it just wasn't working as I couldn't fit one of the pairs into the bag. So I needed to find something that worked both in and out of the office. These are comfortable enough for casual wear, especially with some padded insoles that I added and smart enough for the office. They should also repel light rain despite being suede.
​
Toiletries
Osprey ultralight washbag. This has turned out to fit the bag perfectly. With everything else packed I would not have been able to fit in a normal bag. But this opens out flat and and the clear plastic section unclips so you can find an odd space for it.
Inside it:
Soap in a soap dish
Folding toothbrush
Small toothpaste
Dental floss
Hand sanitiser
Ibuprofen
Plasters
Soap leaves for washing clothes (I expect I will only need to wash the socks and undewear)
​
Other
Osprey ultralight packable day pack (not shown as it arrived tomorrow)
Osprey ultralight packing cubes in light grey (large, medium, small). I was really surprised that all three these fit perfectly in the Porter 30 if rotated a certain way.
Lightweight wash bag. I can't remember where I got this.
Glasses in glasses case
Flat rubber sink coveplug/thing in case there is no plug in the sink hotels (forgot to put it in the picture)
My Pixel 7 Pro phone (not shown - taking photo).
​
I have not yet had the trip so it will be interesting to see how it all works in practice. I will be leaving later this week. But it all fits in the bag and I think it's within all the airline carry on size requirements. Weight could be touch and go but I'll stuff heavy things like the powerbanks in my pockets if needed.
The key seems to be to pick a clothing colour scheme so that everything matches everything else (I went with blue, brown/tan and olive), along with layering and - very important - finding a pair of shoes that works in all weathers both casually and for the office. I am amazed the blazer fits but just by pure luck it is incredibly lightweight as it is unlined and unstructured. It's like a thick jumper that looks like a blazer. Another key is avoiding jeans and opting for lightweight chino's instead. Two of the pairs are stretchy and slightly water repellent so good for the wetter days I expect. I don't plan to bring an umbrella as I can wear the rain jacket; if I really need to then I'll just buy an umbrella there.
I have to say that I am really impressed that the Porter 30 can take all of this. It's quickly becoming my favourite bag. If I didn't need the blazer and shirts for work then there would be plenty of spare space for other things.

The New York pro-life organization CompassCare was attacked for the second time in nine months on Wednesday when an individual was caught on camera vandalizing its sign.
The Buffalo pregnancy center also was firebombed on June 7 in one of the first of many attacks on pro-life organizations in the past year. The fire caused approximately half a million dollars in damage and injured two firefighters, but the perpetrators still have not been caught.
CompassCare, a pro-life Christian ministry, runs several pregnancy centers across New York that offer medical and other pregnancy and parenting support services to help mothers choose life for their babies....
He criticized the FBI and Department of Justice for not doing more to crack down on the growing domestic terrorism. In January, frustrated by the lack of action, CompassCare hired its own private investigators to find out who was behind the June arson attack.
“This fits the definitions of domestic terror,” Harden said this week. “Those in the FBI and DOJ who refuse to treat it as such need to be fired and investigated. This is an act of intimidation and a violation of the FACE Act. America needs to return to a civilized order.”...

LifeNews has been keeping track of the attacks. Since 2022, they include:

Prices are going up. People are complaining. They say programming is too expensive. YouTube TV is kind of in a no-win position: They're forced to buy bundles of channels to put the most-desired channels in front of streamers, and those channels are expensive to carry. To get the cost of YouTube TV down, they'd have to drop one or more programming agreements.
Sooooo...here we go.
Lower your bill by choosing which channel packages you'd like to see YouTube TV drop. You can pick more than one, but if you pick a package, you have to be willing to lose all the channels in it. These are the most-expensive channels for a cable, satellite or streaming service to offer; the more packages you eliminate, the lower your bill.

"No signs. Nothing indicating they could not be there." - January 6 insurrectionist lawyer Carol Stewart, talking about people who came in through the Capitol windows

Return To Lender

In the wake of Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse, things are feeling a little unstable around these parts!

• Global financial markets experienced more turbulence today after Credit Suisse announced it found “material weakness” in its financial reporting, triggering a selloff of the company’s shares, which dropped over 20 percent in value almost immediately. European banking stocks more broadly also took a tumble, dragging down all of the major stock indexes.
  
• Swiss regulators said that Credit Suisse can access money from the central bank if needed, an emergency measure meant to assuage fears resulting from the disclosure. Swiss financial regulator FINMA and the Swiss central bank filed a joint statement assuring that Credit Suisse “meets the capital and liquidity requirements imposed on systemically important banks.”
  
• Fears of broader weakness in the global financial system have been revived in the past week, but the risk of “contagion” from Credit Suisse to other European banks, at least for now, appears to be relatively low. Germany’s financial supervisory authority also stated that it sees no direct risk of the problem spreading, and that the German banking system is robust and capable of weathering higher interest rates. Despite assurances from the banking world (which many people rightly take with a grain of salt!), concern remains…pretty fucking high!
  

The regulatory response to SVB and Credit Suisse have been prompt and at least temporarily stabilizing, but the confluence of current market conditions make this a vulnerable time.

• In times of global financial peril, we are reminded once again that capitalist economic policy and corporate governance, well, it can have some negative consequences! Silicon Valley Bank executives not only gave themselves bonuses as the company was going down in flames on Friday, but they also sold off tens of millions of dollars in company stock over the past two years, raising (pretty obvious!!) questions about insider trading. SVB’s CEO Greg Becker sold almost $30 million of stock over the past two years, and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) called on him to return the money to depositors. Yes I’m sure he will do the right thing!!
  
• The Securities Exchange Commission recently created new rules to increase disclosure, transparency, and timelines for scheduled stock sell-offs, in order to weed out this kind of impropriety. Under the new rules, Becker’s sales would not have been allowed. Cool cool cool!! SVB was the go-to bank for many startups, but it also housed a great deal of cryptocurrency money. So the federal government is now insuring investments over the $250,000 limit even for those who invested big in an unregulated currency. After a huge crash and months of poor performance, cryptocurrency rallied on monday after the lowercase-b bailout. Seems bad to me!
  

Abuses in the financial sector are like guns: they’re ubiquitous in America, they cause catastrophic harm to millions of people, and the government refuses to regulate them.

Under The Radar

As the craven Trump-appointed Texas judge weighs whether or not to invalidate the FDA’s long-standing approval of mifepristone, the most widely-used medication to terminate pregnancy, it’s clear that the worst of what we feared after the fall of Roe may be yet to come. Republicans in South Carolina are pushing legislation that would make any person who has an abortion subject to the state’s homicide laws, which are punishable by death. The bill is called the “South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act” and describes anything from an embryo with a handful of cells up to a fully gestated baby as a “person.” South Carolina law hands down death penalty sentences or minimum sentences of 30 years in prison to people convicted of murder. The measure includes no exceptions for rape or incest. Over a dozen Republican lawmakers have co-sponsored the bill. South Carolina hasn’t acted on the measure yet, but Republicans hold control of both houses of the state legislature and the governorship. Thank you once again to everyone who told women they were “exaggerating” about what Republicans would do in a post-Roe world!

What Else?

Investigators in Fulton County, GA, reportedly have another audio recording of a phone call from disgraced former president Donald Trump—this one to the Georgia Speaker of the House—in which he attempted to toss out Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
In other Trump criminal proceedings, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen wrapped up his second day of testimony before a New York grand jury regarding the “alleged” hush money payment Cohen made at Trump’s behest to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Daniels met with Manhattan prosecutors today.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) revoked the Hyatt Regency Miami hotel’s liquor license because it hosted “A Drag Queen Christmas.”
Speaking of Meatball Ron, allies of disgraced former president Donald Trump have filed a complaint with the Florida Commission on Ethics accusing DeSantis of violating campaign-finance and ethics rules as he continues his shadow run for the GOP presidential nomination without formally declaring his candidacy.
Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Ted Budd (R-NC) introduced a bill to mandate tracking systems on weather and research balloons so the U.S. military can chill the hell out.
State officials in Texas announced a takeover of Houston’s public school district, home to over 200,000 students, in a move Democrats say is a politically motivated exertion of control by the administration of Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) over the increasingly blue city.
Honda recalled 500,000 cars in the United States and Canada due to a problem with the front seat belts. Elon Musk would never.
The Kremlin announced that it will try to recover the wreckage of the American drone it struck down yesterday.

Be Smarter

Something strange is happening on Pennsylvania Avenue, and it’s not Joe Biden ordering ice cream deliveries in the winter. A slew of real estate sales have occurred two blocks east of the Capitol building, and the properties have a common buyer: allies of disgraced former president Donald Trump. The Conservative Partnership Institute, a nonprofit (sure) led by Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, bought a total of $41 million in properties just steps from the Capitol, and in the organization’s annual report, CPI announced that its aim is to transform that particular swath of real estate into a sort of MAGA campus it calls “Patriots’ Row.” Republicans are always going on about their disdain for DC and how it is run so it’s interesting that they are taking somewhat clandestine measures to buy up large swaths of it! It’s also borderline unprecedented for a nonprofit to purchase so many properties (nine in the past year!) in such a close proximity (on one street) in such a short period of time. Pro-insurrectionists having headquarters right next to the Capitol doesn’t feel great! FBI, u up?

Woo Hoo! The day has finally arrived! 15 March 2023... the first day of my 2023 Full-Time RV'er Expedition; 232 days of travel ahead! This year's routing is charted to go up from Elizabeth City, North Carolina up along the East Coast seaboard until I get up to Acadia National Park, Maine on 1 June. From there, I'll cross over New England through the Adirondacks to Upstate New York to stay around Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes region. I'll then head down to Cleveland, Ohio to take in some Indians Baseball before heading south over late September and October to arrive on 1 November in Gulfport, Mississippi for my 2023/2024 winter bed down along the Gulf Coast (until March, 2024).
I'm Pumped! While this has been a comfortable winter down in Charleston, South Carolina staying at my buddy's 2nd home, I am totally stoked about finally getting back into my 36 5th Wheel trailer and starting this year's adventure!
Right now, I'm spending the first 5 nights on the US Coast Guard Base Family Camp in Elizabeth City. The next stop on 20 March will be at Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland to camp on the beach and enjoy the company of the wild horses that roam the park. I have 4 nights there before I head north for multiple stops along the way in Delaware, New Jersey, and the Army Academy in New York. After the Academy, I'll spend about two weeks crossing through Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts on my way up to Acadia National Park.
Given that I'm travelling north during March, April, and May I am sure that more often than not I'll be wearing long pants and a long sleeves when outside. But, that will be just fine. Hopefully, being along the coast I'll avoid any significant late winter weather that will no doubt hit over the next two months.
So... Off I Go! I'll keep posting along the ways and will include any noteworthy pictures.
Here is a link to my current route that shows the places I'll be stopping at along the way:

I'm currently a freshman in college and I am not happy with the location of my college. I want to transfer to a different state. To give you a sense of my situation: my current university is in Connecticut and in the middle of nowhere. It is always cold and I want to be in an urban environment with nicer weather. My GPA isn't the best, in my first semester I got a 2.9, but I want to attend a good school. Any suggestions on where I could possibly apply?

There's a job I just interviewed for with the state, so I would be moving to the Hartford area with my family (partner and a 4 year old) from Tennessee. I really, really want this job! But there's a LOT of negativity in the few city Facebook groups I've joined, which is kind of par for the FB course so taking it with a grain of salt, and some of the research I've been doing. Schools are our top priority so moving from Tennessee is going to make that a huge upgrade probably any way we slice in, but we're specifically looking in West Hartford and Simsbury because of that.
I followed my current job from Ohio blindly to the Nashville area and really don't want to make the same mistake again. Some of my biggest issues with this area revolve around infrastructure (not just roads but good libraries or even a health department), schools, severe weather (tornadoes and intense severe storms with massive flooding occur much more often that I realized), and not much community stuff to do like a parade or festival that isn't jam packed to the point of being unenjoyable. (Maybe things are also jam packed to the point of being unenjoyable in Connecticut too, I'm not sure, but I really hate it so let me know if it is.)
I realize the economy in the Hartford area is doing VERRRY poorly in comparison to this area. Like, it's making me question if we should even move because it's so poor and the future doesn't seem great, but then I worry that I'm just buying in to the negative (and probably somewhat political) talking points.
It's a tough decision. We don't have family in either of these places and are not interested in moving back to Ohio. I've travelled all over the country and there's no area that stands out as definitely where I want to live but I know of a bunch of places I *don't*. I know this is a personal decision at the end of the day. I guess I'm just feeling apprehensive about moving for my career and hating it more than here. My partner truly doesn't care where we go (other than they don't want to live in Ohio or Florida and want good schools) so I don't get a lot of feedback from them. Anybody been in a similar position or have good, guiding wisdom?
