After looking for a place to live in Reading I returned to the US to wrap-up the move.  On British Airways while completing an immigration form, I94

Air staff:  do you have a visa

Wendy: I have an advanced parole

Air staff: I’ve never heard of that before

I like the way that British staff happily display their lack of knowledge.

UK Vacation 9

This ball is near the Waterfront in Bristol. The steps coming out of it suggest the scale. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to stand underneath it and take a picture of the distorted view within one panel including passers-by.
