LOL...those are pretty funny.
You know how much I love to fly.
Do you ever watch the show "Airline"? I think it's on A&E and I catch it sometimes. It's pretty interesting and funny at times. People get so mad when things go wrong and the airlines can pull some really mean stunts on passengers from time to time.
Add up all the time waiting both in the airport and on the tarmac and I swear you could walk to most destinations faster. What I want is a bullet train and to stop all this nonsense about terrorists. If there really was a threat, forest fires would be started every where. Anybody with a Bic lighter could do that and not get caught. I think the government is doing all it can to try to fool the American public about a threat that is actually quite small and is frankly wasting the public's time. It's like that garbage about building a fence between the US and Mexico. Sure, build the biggest fence you want and all people would have to do is swim around the border into San Diego. Hey, if they can make it to Florida from Cuba, how hard would it be?
Like Blondie would state, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and the French! (And they usually cross the border from Canada, not Mexico.) Oh hi Myst!

PS Remember, this is not just my opinion, it's a universal opinion... That, and it's that time of the solar month again.
or day..I'm not fond of either way. But, I have trying to talk myself into a Hawaiian vacation. Problem is..lol..I want to fly first class. About the boss, well I wouldn't say he was cheap but he does squeak.
Yes, I have watched that show before. It seems that it is the drunk passengers that cause the most problems not on the plane but in the airport.
Mexican fences...sigh...not practial 'cos, over or under, they still come. Crossing here in the desert a lot of them don't survive especially in the summer. There must be a better way.
Oh and about Canadian crossings..I say let them in I have several of their coins I would like to give back to them. Got change, Myst?

There is this place that has Anger Manamgement Classes and am I glad I signed up. Now, I can kick people's _____ in a far more efficient and effective manner that ever before and that just saves me time to spread more joy and happiness in the world. Thanks Anger Management! But I digress...
Oh, about change... yeah, That place I was talking about is called the Center For Change, so I go in there and ask for 20 quarters for a 5 and they all look at me funny. The lady at the desk says, "No sir, this is the Center For Change." To which I repeat, "Right 20 quarters please." Now they just start yelling at me. At that point I suggested they take the Anger Management Classes, which according to the sign outside, was offered in the same building. (I never did get my 20 quarters, oh well.)
Speaking of change, not ways but coins.
Did you know that most casinos do not have slots for coins anymore? Now you just stick in a card or a bill- when you cash out you get a receipt you must take to a window where you stand in line to receive your winnings!
..sigh..the fun of gambling is the sound of the coins clinking out when you line up 3 clowns in a row.

Could morph a topic like irate passengers and flying to getting change for canadian coins...lol.
Drunk passengers cause a problem?
Shoot, now I know I will never get to fly again...lol. It's the only time in my life that I really need a drink or two.
So far, marriage #5 is still working out. (j/k) I've only been married once and will probably never have that opportunity again because my wife has done a thorough job of spreading the word about me to all the other women. (still j/k)
Actually, I've been happily married for 25+ years. I know what you are all thinking, what about the other 25... or can the wife make the same claim, without a gun to her head?)
Oh, and Blondie, I'm glad you married a 5. I married a 3.75 but I grade on a scale of 1-4 and I'm a tough grader. You should have seen her face when we were dating and I told her she was a 3.75... before I told her about my 1-4 scale. People always assume the 1-10 thing and to make matters worse, that Movie "10" with Bo Derek was out around that time period. What a jerk I was back then, yeah, like I'm so much better now. Anyway, it was lucky for me I was good with fractions, and fractures. My right arm still hurts on rainy days, but I digress...
Yeah, no more coins in slots? Wow, do they take Discover? I mean that way I can get cash back on my gambling losses. Oh well, the only slots that ever paid anything were the nickel ones. They pay to make newbies think that slots are easy and then they screw 'um at the dollar ones! Actually Poker is probably one of the only games you could actually make money at. I know, if you can count cards, Black Jack will favor the player but if you think casino owners who are involved in organized crime, drugs, and rent a relationship won't cheat you at cards, well, OK then, go ahead and make their day.

PS: I made a Black Jack simulator to prove my theory. That program probably saved me a bundle when I turned 21.

Adn oh, Hi Universe Didn't see ya there until my ears started buzzing at one point .
I can't believe Pete didn't choose the 5 star method. it's all I can fit in those little black books lol. Makes me wonder how many fingers Pete's got on each .
My wife is a perfect 10 (of course but she dropped to a 7 with because she came with a mother inlaw. LOL. A mother inlaw is like a star, you really do have to admire her from far FAR away! nuff said lol.
Me, I don't what number I am to her but I'm still here, still alive, and I have all min 206 bones intact so I know I'm at least a 5.
Well, if you have a French accent, you are automatically a ten. Unless it is mixed with a Canadian accent..lol..then you drop to a 4.0, sorry. It has something to due with the fact that our slot machines have never accepted Canadian coins.
I had no idea the canadian dollar was doing that bad. .The way the canadian dollar is doing these days, you might want to consider making that slot machine accept it .
Oh and don't worry, my accent is whatever I want it to be, even in english. . so 10 in french, and 10 in english...guess that makes me 20 .
Oh did I mention we french canadian won't ever get killed by modesty? ROFLMAO
LOL..Well no doubt in my mind where the power is stored....

See, if they made batetries that looked like the powerplant men would never EVAH loose them.
But no, the had to give it that "other" shape...LOL (for more details go shopping at the husband store, basement department where atleast they have things you can touch. LOL
The Palo Verde plant is the largest nuclear energy generating facility in the United States. It is located in Tonopah, Arizona. The facility is on about 4,000 acres. Approximately 2,500 people are employed there.
About 4 million people in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas receive power generated by the Palo Verde plant. Palo Verde is the only nuclear energy facility in the world that uses treated sewage effluence for cooling water. Palo Verde does not use fossil fuels to generate electricity. It is a zero-emissions facility.
The reactors at Palo Verde are in an airtight, reinforced concrete structure designed to withstand the force of a jet airplane. The Arizona National Guard provides protection as a part of an anti-terrorism plan referred to as "Liberty Shield."
