What fun pics! I'm guessing he is not too worried about having to stay. Hope he has a continued good time!

Yes, he’s having a good time. Decades ago he vacationed in Switzerland and helped the same cousin in the food truck business. DH likes being useful, and there’s no greater way to experience the local culture than to work in it.
My ongoing regret is that DH cannot go over to Scotland for several weeks to help his female cousin renovate her Scottish cottage. She is doing major gut rehab to a small old house and doing the work herself. He would be very useful to her. But he has to stay here in the United States to finish our own house. I’m not going live forever and I want this damn house finished.
It' a little concerning to know western civilization can be brought to it's knees by a little software glitch.

I’m reading that scammers are now trying to steal personal information by posing as Crowdstrike support.
The initial numbers I’m seeing are $5 billion in losses sustained. Some of that will be covered by cyber insurance or by crowdstrike’s errors and omissions insurance. It will take a long time before all that settles out. A couple of years for the insured’s cyber policy. A couple of years beyond that if companies are hoping crowdstrike and their insurance will pay. To complicate things crowdstrike’s contracts most likely limit their liability to the value of the contract with the customer. (Pretty standard for tech contracts). So the customer’s cyber policy will end up on the hook for any loss over that amount.
Given that crowdstrike is mainly an enterprise software hopefully this attack vector is not terribly successful.
DH had no trouble at the Zürich airport, but Atlanta was a mess. I suggested he just get out of the mess and go stay in a hotel for a day or two, but he wouldn’t do that. So he arrived home at 1 o’clock in the morning after running back-and-forth between multiple gates For several hours.
this was, of course, a Black Swan event but is flying ever a good time? I think not.
A few of our suppliers are having Crowdstrike issues but so far, you'd never know it on the floor and we remain almost fully stocked at the grocery store. And my investment accounts and credit union accounts are fine, as are SO's and his folks and my Mom's. Breath of relief there but I also hope you'all here are not having to deal with this.
This event? Really serves to show how vulnerable, that's right I said vulnerable, modern technology can make us. Rob
