Back in Blenheim

Flight from San Francisco to Auckland wasn't too bad, had three seats to myself so I could sort of stretch out. Went through the inquisition from immigration and customs for no apparent reason. Maybe I should have gotten a haircut before I went? At least they didn't do a cavity search. All sorts of questions about where I will be staying and what I will be doing. What's my favorite color. What's the airspeed of an unladen swallow, etc. I guess they have to justify their job somehow.

Some on and off rain on the drive from Nelson to Blenheim, temperature probably upper 60's or low 70's. Going to go shopping for a fan to provide some psycho-acoustic masking in the motel room. Then I'll go to the supermarket and get some supplies. Internet connection in the motel room seems to work OK.
