I wish to report a very speedy and friendly passage through border control and arrival formalities at Los Angeles International Airport. I know this will come across as a work of fiction, but here we are.

It can mean that they had previously posted their rates and had deleted them from their ad. I've seen the same thing happens with escorts in Australia. Even when I am logged on at home, I can never see rates posted for escorts from the US or any others who are there temporarily, but I have no idea whether in either case they have the ability to include rates in their ad despite those rates being hidden to viewers in the US or when they themselves are in the country.

Thanks, @RadioRob, with the prolonged error message I figured something like that had happened. Glad to see it's back.

Thanks for this post confirming the impression I had gained.

I think you may have meant artisan. artesian adjective ar·te·sian (ˈ)är-¦tē-zhən : involving, relating to, or supplied by the upward movement of water under hydrostatic pressure in rocks or unconsolidated material beneath the earth's surface

Ms Tate, really?

She's the chair of the Australian Government's Productivity Commission. But I don't think that's the one he was talking about.

Does Bozo think so?

Some may have noticed I have changed my avatar. It's a bad photo of a red poppy I grew last year or the year before, a symbol of remembrance with its origins the Flanders poppies that grew in the ground of earth disturbed in war, In Flanders Field.

I suspect he meant complaisant, which it turns out is a word in English, although I checked it to see if he had used a French word. It means "marked by an inclination to please or oblige'.

This morning's national Remembrance Day service was conducted in the forecourt of the Australian War Memorial under partly cloudy skies. The service was attended by the Governor-General, the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. The service in Brisbane was attended by Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, the Princes Royal, who is in Australia as the Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals to mark the centenary of the Corps.

'Tradie' is more than a look, and often here it doesn't always even include 'that' look. People here are more likely to use 'bogan' for the look (in my part of the country at least), which is a borderline derogatory term for poorer and 'unrefined' people. Tradie is essentially a term that refers to people in the building trades (hence the typical Australian abbreviation/diminutive—shorten the word and ie or o at the end), and extends to tradesmen you'd employ to do minor home repairs, or who work in licensed trades like plumbing and electrical work, and also carpenters and the like. It also refers, more obliquely, to the proportion of them who have become increasingly prosperous as their small businesses do well with that kind of work and don't take on any of the pretensions that wealth can generate (some making a virtue of not doing so, a sort of reverse snobbery). To me at least, the word 'tradie' sits in a neutral to positive register, not a negative one. But back to the gentleman in question.

You say that as if trade deficits are a bad thing, and that a deficit with one partner can's be offset by a surplus with another.

That sounds as if you expected what he says to be decipherable.

Okay, this wins the internet today.

Dijon mustard would be one idea. I know that works for me when I fry mushrooms and add it with cream for a sauce for a steak or pork chop.

Well, one would hope to be able to visit Mr D'Arcy unannounced.

Interesting, I've driven around the periphery, Annapolis to Dulles. From National and Arlington to points south, Alexandria, across the river on the beltway, and back up to the former Bolling AFB and back to Crystal City, but I don't remember driving through the city itself. Parts I went weren't too difficult, but none of that recent. Maybe there was drama but the recollections of have faded. I wonder whether I should hesitate to try driving there again!

Some scenery in Berlin is pleasant, it would seem. Even the rail stations have their attractions.
