I had a terrible experience flying on United to San Francisco. Let’s talk about why. Both aircrafts had mechanical issues that sigifcantly delayed my arrival. 1.5 hours the 1st flight and 2 hours for the second. While leaving Dulles, there was a Mom with an infant and they would not let her board early. She was in the last boarding group so she the last person to board. Finally, on a 4 hour flight the only thing free on the flight were drinks. No peanuts, no pretzels nothing to munch on. Come on. That makes no sense. There is so much waste on the craft with the magazines and holders behind the seat. Get rid of all that and I am sure I can check a bag for free. I still dont understand why it costs $25 to check a bag at the terminal, but I can check a bag for free at the gate. Why do we run out of overhead space? Every flight. Why can’t you get rid of all the overhead compartments and check everything. Wouldn’t that save even more weight? Also, why are the sodas delivered in cans? Why not install a dispenser? Wouldn’t that require less weight? In the end money talks, so I am going to take my business elsewhere.

From occasionally observing this outbreak, it doesn’t seem like the world is putting much effort in containing this.

On a lighter note, I expect the skins to make it deep into the playoffs. After beating the Cowboys, RGIII is coming back and we have a bye after the Vikings. Never mind the fact they are 2 and 6 so far.
The controversy is getting pretty heated regarding the Redskins name. I guess the name has been thrown around for so long, that some people have just assumed it’s part of the everyday vernacular. I would a assume, almost any term relating a color and a skin attached to it, would be inapporiate. For example, would The Washington YellowSkins or The BlackSkins be accepted. I would guess not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redskin_%28slang%29
If the “skins” don’t change their name by the end of the season, I will find a different team to cheer for. Unless they make it to the Super Bowl, then I will give them one more season. 🙂
Movie Season…Not reallyMovie Season…Not really
This feels like a bit of a dry spell between Christmas and summer. A good time for some duds to make some money.
If you are older that 10 and see this money you might have a chemical imbalance.
Even HBO is low on good movies. Time to cut that out of the cable subscription.
