Supplements

Here is a practical matter for people in a certain phase of life. Supplements (see photo). That's right, we are talking about fiber supplements and vitamin supplements. And we are talking about bringing a large supply in our airplane carry-on luggage, much easier and less expensive than buying here. Besides, we couldn't find a suitable Benefiber substitute anywhere over here when we previously looked.

Yea, I know, this is fascinating (sarcasm). Like I said, a certain phase of life. And since we will be here on this trip for six months, we carried a lot of supplements. We carried so many that we received special attention from the TSA officers at the Roanoke airport when we tried to progress through security. It turns out that some ne'er-do-wells actually disguise powerful/deadly street drugs in supplement containers. Similar for cocaine and other powdered narcotics, packaged in containers of fiber supplement. Who knew. Well, TSA sure knew. We didn't. But now we do. After TSA performed some testing on our supplements and after they asked us some questions, we were allowed to bring them on the plane. I am guessing that our names have been added to a list somewhere...
