That detail about the towels and products is what gets me, because that setup is basically your hands before you even touch a face. If she was that bold at your station, imagine what she pulled on the 2pm person.

Learned that lesson the hard way in Bangkok last year, now I keep a small universal charger in my carry on no matter what. It has swappable tips and handles most laptops, so I never have to run around town again. Packing an extra one is cheap peace of mind, not being paranoid.

I remember reading a writeup from a pipeline welder about running straight CO2 on roots and he said the same thing, the bead looks great until you cut it. Something about how CO2 runs hotter and gives you that nice wet look on top but the penetration at the root can be shallow if your travel speed creeps up. He mentioned the freeze line moves faster than you expect, so you get that cold lap before you even feel it in the puddle. Surprised the cap looked that clean though, usually you see a little something on the toes.
