The pleasures of TDY

[backerman]

So, in preparation for my trip next week to JavaOne, I noticed some interesting things:

• San Francsico has a sentō (Japanese-style communal bathhouse). I didn't realize there were any in the US.
• People who work for large organizations get Hertz #1 Club Gold membership for a round number. (Check with your travel office for more information if this applies to you.)
• In another example of the many benefits that accrue to one working for The Man, Borders is having a 20% off sale for civil servants. Perfect for picking up a travel guide...
