At Home In The Wasteland Travel Blog

The Washington Post had this hilarious article in today’s paper about some Dem politicians staging a news conference outside the Capitol Hill Exxon station. The reason? To blame the GOP for “high” gas prices. As usual, the Dems in Congress waste yet another opportunity to take the lead on an important issue so that they [...]

I finally made it to the actual city of San Antonio on Friday after our conference ended. My flight was leaving at 3pm the next day, so I had a little under 24 hours to see “touristy” stuff. My first stop was the Riverwalk: The Riverwalk has a lot of restaurants and stores…that’s about it. [...]

I never thought that after leaving California in January, I would be back in a mere two months. I was in San Diego for a business trip from Monday to Friday.
