Hard to believe anything could surpass those! I wouldn’t want to keep either of them clean, though!
Travel with me to Yosemite today on your flying carpet, but l’d leave the chandelier! It catches too much air. 🙂

I thought it was an interesting observation. My bags got progressively bigger until a few years ago when I was on my back to basics kick. Then after wrecking my right shoulder they got even smaller.

Sadly not, but that would be a good way to fly, wouldn’t it! Lots of fresh air to combat the virus 🙂
