Cheerio

A tip for flyers from the Cincinnati airport:

The security checkpoint has some new machines. In addition to the metal detector, there is a new chamber that tests for explosive materials. You have to walk into this metal area surrounded by glass doors, the machine then shoots little gusts of air, similar to the ones they shoot in your eye at the eye doctor. Then you stand there for a few seconds as it detects whether there are any remnants of explosive materials on your body. So don't play with any fireworks before you head to the airport. Oh, and be sure to tuck in your shirt just to be safe.

Anyway, I'm in England now, I'll keep you updated on my house hunting today.
