I have found it to be fussier than heavier conventional scales owned in years past, but a 3.9 pound shipping weight meant I could reasonably expect to shlep it onboard in checked luggage.<\/p>\n<p>Mine wants a flat surface to sit upon. If I can press any corner and detect a wobble, it wants to be moved somewhere else. I step on it once in the morning, wait while its electronic innards decide what I weigh, then don&#8217;t step on it again until the next morning. If I insist on stepping in it again two minutes later, the little batteries are likely to deliver a different reading. (Perhaps they&#8217;re catching their breath.)<\/p>\n<p>A travel scale. A far, far cry from a human-sized balance beam scale. As a travel scale, first rate.

These deluxe bags were overkill for a one way flight to Spain. I wasn&#8217;t sure that the visa would come through when I bought them, thought it wise to prepare then for extended travel.<\/p>\n<p>That said, even if I wound up not needing the quality: first rate equipment. I got what I paid for.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>VPN (VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I can go online on the road by tethering my laptop to my smartphone or by using wi-fi. My smartphone connection is secured by the cellular service provider. The wi-fi connection may not be secure at all. In my email list managing days for TransitPeople, I expected at least one missive a week from a hacked account, likely hijacked while the innocent victim entered account information via wi-fi.<\/p>\n<p>To stave off snoopers, I can use wi-fi with a \u201cvirtual private network,\u201d or VPN. <a href=\"https:\/\/nordvpn.com\/\">NordVPN<\/a>, Private Internet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/\">Access<\/a> and other commercial VPNs operate global networks of servers. I fire up wi-fi, then hook up to a VPN server in Singapore, France, Barstow, the Clintons&#8217; bathroom closet, as I see fit. A lock appears on the network connection icon on the taskbar. Web sites see traffic coming from the VPN, and not from me.<\/p>\n<p>I expected configuration headaches, but found ee-zee online instructions for setting up VPN in Linux, presume that similar handholding is available for Windows and Mac users. An account goes for $40 &#8211; $70 a year. Free VPNs haven&#8217;t been charitably reviewed; I haven&#8217;t tried one.<\/p>\n<p>Two caveats:<\/p>\n<p>(&#x2666;) \u00a0Online nogoodniks eagerly employ VPN to mask identities, and some major sites balk when first accessed from a VPN address. I can use gmail with VPN, but not from an email client, at least not right away; I must first log on via web, presumably to assure Google that the password-holder from the unfamiliar VPN server is really me. Facebook and other sites present a captcha screen, insist that I prove I&#8217;m not a robot.<\/p>\n<p>(&#x2666;) \u00a0 Set-up requires some technical chops. Not a lot, but some. I suggest sounding out a geekily inclined friend.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>U.S. GLOBAL MAIL FORWARDING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I have gone paperless wherever possible, have canceled every regularly-arriving hardcopy missive I could think to cancel, but still expect some materials to be sent to my old San Francisco address. Said materials shall now be forwarded to U.S. Global <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usglobalmail.com\/\">Mail<\/a>. My $150 one year subscription entitles me to a U.S. address and online account access. When paper mail arrives, I can pay to have it opened and scanned, can then eyeball it from abroad.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Global Mail looks well run, and staff promptly field phone calls. That&#8217;s to the good.
