Thoughts on the Day

  • Thunderclaps and lightning strikes mean no loading the airplane.
  • Of course I left my rain gear at the hotel.  Why would I bring it with me to the airfield?  That would be silly.
  • UFC fighting just isn’t my thing.  If I want to watch people taking shots at each other, rolling around trying to get the other guy to tap out, and getting covered in blood for money, I’ll watch C-SPAN.
  • It has been a long time since I’ve had seafood for breakfast.  It was rather nice.
  • Definition of politeness – The young lady behind me on one of my flights today got airsick just after a rather soft landing.  She’d been holding it down so that no-one else got sick.
  • Yet again, the TSA at Norfolk International Airport can go jump in a vat of acid, and I mean that in the kindest way imaginable.
  • Here’s a hint:  If you can’t describe why the real airport police (Not the TSA, but the real carry-a-badge-and-a-gun police) got called because of your behavior without launching into another loud, profane tirade on the telephone, then maybe you’re part of the problem.
    • Yes, I’m sure the black ticket agent called the black police officers over because you’re black.
    • Your race card is looking a bit tattered lately.
  • Southwest Airlines cut it a little close with my connection today, but it was rather nice to walk off one jetway, turn left, walk 30 feet, turn left again, then walk down another jetway and onto my flight home.
  • Got home to a grilled steak and a cold beer.  I guess Irish Woman is happy to see me.
  • It is hard to type when  dog has his head on your shoulder and won’t leave you alone because you might disappear again.

    If you’re going to keep traveling to Norfolk, you need to grab lunch or dinner at Hoss’s Deli. Just over the river in NN.
    Wednesday night is Hooker Night.
    Awesome.

    If the trips develop into more than flying in on Friday, working Friday night, working all day and evening on Saturday, and flying out Sunday, I sure will. I don’t want to invite you to drive all the way down to Norfolk just to wait for me to get off work.
