Sitting at LAX waiting for my onward flight. Breaking with LAX tradition, there weren’t huge long waits at the passport or customs checks, I was not harassed, abused, or barked at. Impressive change!

Walking through a corridor, there’s a “welcome to USA” above, with photos of the US president and vice president (currently the talking gloating bush and his evil brains Cheney), but thinking about the fact that soon someone will get a stepladder and put Barack’s picture up there just made me smile ;-)
