- Today’s safety briefing pretty much boiled down to “Is plane, is not safe”.
- Taking the guy from Spain out for Mexican food at lunch time got me a couple strange looks.
- So did suggesting a barbecue joint to the guy from Memphis when he requested suggestions for dinner.
- No, I wasn’t being a smart ass. I only realized how odd those suggestions were while I was driving home.
- I don’t know what oompaloompa the door between the crew and cargo areas on some of our jets was designed for, but it certainly wasn’t built for a 6’4″ fat guy.
- My instructor spent a good part of our breaks this morning calling to see if a spare airplane could be had for use as a training aid. And I thought getting a projector and sound system that worked for my classes was a pain in the tuckus.
- I have to remember that when you’re walking around on a concrete pad all day, you have to expect to get sunburned from both above and below.
- Who’s got two thumbs and has a wonderful wife who had a wonderful chicken stew with crusty bread ready for him when he came home tonight? This guy!
- Apparently Boo was acting like his father at school today. Irish Woman got talked to when she picked him up and I got talked to when I got home.

/ September 11, 2012Hey, Spanish food is NOT Mexican food. Why is it odd to take someone from Spain to a Mexican restaurant? He has probably never had it before…

/ September 11, 2012That was my thought. He seemed to enjoy it.
And yeah, I learned that Spanish food isn’t Mexican food one night in my 3rd month in Helsinki.

Ha!
Ha!Ha!
Ha!Ha!Ha!
Where do you suppose he learned that kind of behavior?
I don’t even know what he did, but I can about guess and it has a lot to do with an elementary school student behaving like an opinionated middle aged adult who is used to occupying a position of authority. I hope Irish Woman was in a cheerful, diplomatic mood when she got lectured by the school.
For my part, when I was a mere precocious snot-nose in grade 2, my dear old dad gave me some advice on how to handle a particular situation. He also stated that “if they have any problems with that, you just tell them to call me.” So I did, and they did, and I don’t know what he said to them but I never had that particular problem again and I never got anymore advise from dad until I was much older. And then it had to do with birth control.
Good luck to you!
