I was looking at suitcases at Costco online, looking for a lightweight one, and it hit me–don’t take it for granted: I looked at the dimensions.
Height plus weight plus depth, add up those inches. If the number’s over 60, Alaska and apparently other airlines charge you an extra $75 each way. Which adds up fast to the new suitcase you’ll want after buying some of those.
Our old ones were fabric and they’d gotten to where they made our clean clothes arrive smelling like they were on the return trip.
So I’d opened them and put them out in the sun, since that’s the best disinfectant of all (and if it works, the easiest, right?)
I think it was a scrub jay. Nailed his but good. Yeah, it scrubbed clean, but he’ll never look at it quite the same way again.
