Snowden pack" pretty cute.  One of the stickers says "From Russia with
love" and shows him sending kisses, hihi...  <3



My trip to Prague was rather eventful.  Got to Toronto, needed to transfer to 
another flight to Prague.  Got out, went through Customs.  Red Flag!!!  Canada 
doesn't like me, for my so-called "criminal record".   Rather than simply put 
me on the flight to Prague, they did the illogical thing and sent me to New 
York City, specifically LaGuardia.  Took a bus to JFK airport, then took a VERY 
long flight to...wait for it...MOSCOW!   And I don't mean Moscow Idaho.   Yes, 
Moscow Airport, Sheremetyevo.  (hope I spelled that right.   At least it's not 
in Cyrillic.).  (Cue the conspiracy theories that I've been replaced by a 
Russian clone, tovarisch!!!)
Actually, I had a choice:  Go to Moscow or Turkey.  I chose Moscow.  Why?  I 
figured the Turkish government might want to do the US Government a favor by 
locking me up for a few days or weeks, etc.   At the same time, I was fairly 
sure that the Russian government WOULDN'T do the same type of favor.  And it 
turns out I was right.  A few hours in Moscow were extremely uneventful.  If 
they knew _I_ was there, I couldn't tell.  They even had a Burger King!!!     
Left on a 2-hour flight to Prague.   Sorta the modern equivalent of Lenin's 
"sealed railway train" back to Russia.

Someday, I'd like to visit various celebrities, perhaps Snowden, and maybe 
Assange in London.
