Good news and bad news.

But mostly bad.

Southwest called today and said they will only look for my bag until Friday. So if they don't find it in the next two days, I am out all my cycling kit and most of my good clothes. Plus all my textbooks and notes, the week before finals.

On the plus side, it turns out the airline's liability limit is THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. And if they really do lose my bag, I'm collecting every cent of that.
