10. My brother and I went food shopping yesterday in northern Virginia

There was a little more of a crowd than usual, but no crowds to speak of.

I was in a bit of a panic because Air Chance called to tell me to forget my flight booked for Sunday, that all Saturday flights to EU destinations were booked solid, and that they had exactly ONE free seat on the Friday plane from Washington to Paris, and they strongly recommended I grab it. I asked if there would be a rebooking fee. The initial answer was yes, $4000. I said, look, besides the fact that $4000 was highway robbery, I was Air France Platinum For Life, and the rebooking was at THEIR suggestion. The agent on the phone said she agreed, and would consult with her supervisor. Two minutes later, the $4000 was reduced by $4000, i.e. there would be no rebooking fee. That’s a 100% reduction in the real world, 500% in Trumpworld. Downside is the 4 hour wait here in the CDG (Paris) airport for my 50 minute flight to Düsseldorf.
