Got up at 3am this morning to walk the dog and then finish up packing. Was on the road by 4. I made it through security by 5. The plane was right on time. It was empty. I had the entire row to myself. First stop was St. Louis. 10 minutes to get to the next gate. Landed at LaGuardia around 2:55pm. Quick stop at my sister’s house to drop off my bags. Needed a pizza fix so we stopped at Vinnie’s Mulberry Street than the 6:45 Fire Island Ferry to Fair Harbor. Hung out on the Atlantique docks. Sleeping on The Jack Pot tonight. Put this one on the plus column.

Just a blog of random thoughts. Some will be about street photography; some about DMR radio; some about weight training; we can chat about cigars, motorcycles and tools. Since everyone has an opinion, maybe I'll throw in the dreaded political thoughts.

I Must Be Sitting In The Front Row
Only 50 people on the flight. It holds 143. I should be able to get off quickly. This is good. I only have 10 minutes to make it to my connecting flight.

Back and Forth
Landed 45 minutes late in Austin at Gate 8. Have 20 minutes to make it all the way across to the other side of the airport for my connecting gate. So I’m standing here listening to all the people say how they can’t wait to see Mickey in Disney. It occurs to me there must have been a gate change. Sure enough. Guess which gate…… Gate 8 where I just came from.

Might Make It Afterall
The originating flight from Memphis just pulled in. Although it is 45 minutes late, I still have 1 hour after I land to make the next plane. Psyched!!!!

In Search of Gladstone
Wall Street Journal editorial today on page A11 is a keeper. My only complaint, pensions are NOT entitlements. They are earned, working long and hard hours, sometimes doing very dangerous jobs at all hours, on weekends and holidays, missing family events, for moderate pay. This was a “deal”. You’ll get a pension, but you’ll have to bust your ass.
That’s not an entitlement. That’s money hard earned.
