| | Courier Report FER-1291 DISPATCHED: 03/02/07 DELIVERED: 12/02/07 kate rich 3 feb. departed Lui V at 430h for pedestrian bordercrossing to usa with drunken american youth. observed only cursory checks of youth driver licences. trolley to san diego was more exacting, got picked up for not carrying correct trolley ticket and forced to alight. controller seemed unused to reading passports and mistranscribed my surname onto violation document as 'deutsch'. after 20 minutes chatting, controllers who seemed to be ex-navy decided to downgrade ticket attack to a volation warning ordinance no.2, accepted their help to purchase correct ticket for $2.25 from the machine and caught the next trolley to santa fe stop (amtrak san diego). 7:55h surfliner train to LA, noticed surfer swarms extending miles along the san deigo beach. Slept till LA Union station and transferred via palatial courtyards to Amtrak thruway bus to Bakersfield. Amid spectacular mountain scenery and redtail hawks, amtrak busdrivers chatted intimately about their moving violations histories. Haze descended into Bakersfield. Bakersfield station admired public sculpture to tourism, the train arrived on time 13h. 6+ hour boring ride through massive flat industrial agricultures, arrived emeryville 1945, thruway bus over rammed bay bridge to market st SF, and f trolley to guererro & 14th. walked to amy balkin apartment, where the coffee was ground in amy's kitchen. 10 feb. departed 14th st at 645h, caught 16th st, BART to embarcardero, walked through rain to the ferry building. Amtrak thruway bus got lost trying to find Oakland amtrak station but luckily the Coastal Starlight train was 2 hrs late so no drama there. Train dep approx noon, coasted slowly south through thick rain, no view. By mid afternoon train running now 3.5 hours late and predicted to miss last entry into the tunnel between Oxnard and Simi Valley (10pm), bus transfer to LA threatened. In the lounge car, an LA woman was being antiterrorised by 3 train staff for drinking from a non-amtrak purchased beer can, the train manager had decided to cast her off the train at paso robles, 6 hours from destination (LA) off a now 4 hours late train. Other passengers fled the lounge car stating not wanting any trouble. When challenged for watching, I stated concern at disproportionate response of middle of nowhere dumping to wrong beer can, the train manager started saying 'national security administration', 'its a serious situation out here' and 'i'm like the pilot, i have complete authority' and ordered me to return to my seat. 11pm all passengers were detrained at santa barbara for bus transfer to LA. Slept 2.5 hrs until Union station arrival at 130h, Taxi to materials & applications (M&A) on silverlake boulevard, despite 4.5 hrs late amtrak refused to sponsor taxi fare. 12 feb drove with jenna to union station, 1110h surfliner train to San Diego, all was calm. Caught blue line trolley with correct ticket to San Ysidro (1hr), walked from trolley plaza over Interstate overpass, descending to US exit turnstiles. Exited & walked couple hundred meters to Mexico entry turnstiles and thru to Tijuana, walked 30 seconds to Lui V. Ground coffee returned to kitchen shelf and served the following evening at trade talk event. |

| onward transit of FER-1279 from Cube Microplex arrived Lui Velazquez 2007-01-19 |
kate rich walked Cube to bus station with approx 33 kg luggage, largely grocery products (gift & residency supplies). 8AM bus to Bristol airport, check-in was fraught with systematic dangers, detailed in-queue interrogation by US immigration agent and latest handluggage attack at the check-in desk. current offical panic allows strictly 1 carry-on bag including all laptops yet minus any liquids over 100ml, feral trade's luggage was oriented around safely stowing feral liquid goods in transit (1x swiss absinthe, 1x hertekamp jenever dutch gin, 3x cube cola concentrates) plus various uk jams, biscuits and 9x bags coffee for US distribution. however these 3x lightweight and compact check-in bags rocketed over continental airlines' economy limit (2x checked bags) so the desk agents attempted to charge 50 USD penalty fee for the distribution of basically groceries. after some negotation, desk agents provided a large clear plastic bag, 2 grocery-holding bags were placed inside henceforth making offically 1 bag for check-in at the fragile counter, no fee necessary. after this drama flight was relatively smooth, although taking off through massive isobar concentration of colliding cold and warm fronts that had been sparking 80 mph around southwest uk in preceding days. flew 8hrs to newark 'liberty' airport, where passenger and bags moved smoothly through immigration (friendly with jokes) and US customs {claiming only chocolate carried, no-one checked); no detentions or passenger bag searches witnessed, just speedy throughput.
at the carousel feral trade rented smart cart trolley (3 USD on visacard) for 50m walk to transit desk, rechecked bags for onward flight to los angeles. 6 hrs uneventful flying, neighbouring passenger credited the uncanny mildness of newyork weather to El Nino. Landed LA 1830 PST on the coldest night in memory, minus 2 degrees, snow on Sunset. grabbed bags from carousel and dragged them a few metres to the exit door. Pickup-truck pick up courtesy Jenna Didier, drove via airport exit traffic jam to Materials and Applications, silverlake boulevard, where coffee was warehoused for 6 nights. 19/1 walked silverlake to machine gallery in echo park, then picked up by jenna & truck driving downtown to LA Union Station. Amtrak signs stated that since 2004 passengers with more than 2 bags would be not allowed to board the train, no-one seemed to care. Pacific surfliner train to San Diego went slow but magnetic ocean views. Pickup at san diego station by gold pontiac and shannon spanhake, drove to san ysidro where the pontiac was parked for swifter border crossing by foot. walked 200m with bags along unmanned US exit border corridor, exited via giant turnstile, walked 30 seconds to Lui Velazquez.
