- Everything in Virginia was more expensive than it is in Kentucky, except for gasoline.
- Virginia politics is almost as dirty and mean as Kentucky politics.
- If the attack ads actually mentioned the marital status of the target of the attack, then they might pull ahead in the 100 meter mudslinging event.
- Had an excellent dinner with OldNFO and one of my co-workers on Friday night.
- I was wondering if my partner would have much to talk about with NFO and me, but little did I know that he was an old school member of the naval aviation mafia, so the conversation flowed easily.
- If the worst thing that happens all day is that someone else puts a few tons of cargo in the wrong order and has to rearrange things with three heavy fork lifts, it’s a good day.
- It’s always good to work with motivated professionals.
- Of course, they were motivated to get the job done so they could get home to watch college football, but whatever works.
- After leaving work last night, I had a huge choice to make.
- I could go back to my hotel, take a shower, put on nice clothes, and go out for a nice dinner, or I could go to Waffle House, wash my hands in the men’s room, and have breakfast for dinner.
- In unrelated news, I realized last night that I like Waffle House’s all-the-way hashbrowns and biscuits and gravy at 10 o’clock at night.
- For once, the TSA at Norfolk International Airport was friendly, professional, and just seemed to want to get people through the checkpoint.
- Must have been the pink rubber gloves they were wearing.
- If you need another reason that all of the new security measures are kabuki theater, here’s one: This morning, when the line to get through the body scanners or get patted down was 30 people deep and growing, the TSA fired up the old walk-through metal detector and was putting 3/4 of us through it.
- If it’s good enough for crunch time, it’s good enough for every time.
- Gee, I wonder if the billions we paid for millimeter-wave scanners and chemical sniffers was worth it?
- It is a good thing that the ground crew noticed the fuel leak on the engine during pushout from the gate this morning.
- It’s those abrupt, fiery stops in sub-divisions and cornfields that tend to make days more interesting than they need to be.
- We went from “Going back to the gate” to “Get the heck off my aircraft” to “Stand in this line and we’ll try to find a new flight for you” to “Get on the airplane because we fixed it. We’ll do our best to make sure you don’t spend the night in Baltimore International”.
- I had a couple of hours layover in Baltimore, so I was OK. A few people on the flight weren’t sure if they’d make it home today.
- The person that comes up with a device that causes the eardrums of small children to painlessly pop when air pressure changes will be a billionaire and Nobel Prize winner in about 8 minutes.
