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.

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. Essentially, a blog of useless information, ramblings, poorly structured arguments, and complaints. You will be dumber for reading this.
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.

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!!!!

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.

I voiced strong disapproval of Starbucks decision to switch to their current line of “treats”. I wrote email after email.
Today I heard from a Starbucks rep they are dumping their line and going back to the good ol’ fashioned pound cakes!!!
(A trial sample showed the old stuff selling 6:1 over the new line. Can you say New Coke??)
