Pro travel tip- Those yoga pants and yoga tops are probably NOT appropriate for airline travel, especially if you don’t wear anything under them, and then sprawl out on the airplane sleeping… Unless you’re advertising for your night time job. Just sayin…
The flight attendants kept trying to cover her up the whole time…
And I’m truly thankful for my Nook, so far this trip I’ve read six books, one of them almost 1000 pages long. And all of them fit in one nice little package!!!
A generation of freeloaders (and picky ones at that)- At the hotel in San Diego I was sitting on the balcony overlooking the parking lot (such a view) and ‘enjoying’ an early morning cup of sludge. I watched a set of seagulls ‘patrol’ over the trash cans in the parking lot, then watched one dive onto one particular trash can, dip in and pull out a McDonald’s bag…
It took the bag over to an open spot on the parking lot and drop it, when it didn’t come open, it landed (along with the other three birds) and it grabbed the BOTTOM of the bag and shook it till the contents spread out.
When I went down and told the manager, she sighed and said they watched them do that every day but ONLY for McDonald’s bags, nothing else!!!
We had a discussion at lunch today about the ‘immigration’ bill(s) floating around including the latest from the administration gives illegals an immediate visa and they can become ‘legal’ in 8 years… However, there is no plan to actually enforce the fiscal self–sufficiency clause so that the illegals don’t immediately and permanently go on welfare (of course THAT is apparently not being enforced anyway)… Cause if you actually make them ‘work’ for their money they’re not going to vote democrat.
And I wonder if they really understand what will happen with minimum wage going to $9/hr… What’s that going to do to prices for consumer goods? How about the Big Mac? $8-9 for a Big Mac??? $4/gal milk?
Gas prices are still rising and no end in sight; because the companies can’t build/upgrade new refineries; while in other countries they can do all the environmental paperwork and build a new refinery in 2 years…
And why can’t we get some of those VW’s and Mercedes cars over here that get 70+ mpg on diesel? TDI/clean diesel/Blue-e-motion is alive and well and being sold every day in Europe. Hell in 2010 I had a little Mercedes A140 that got 70mpg (imperial), which equated to about 52mpg US… And I heard Toyota and others in Japan are dropping the electric cars as a loss leader, and won’t be exporting/selling them in the US.
And an odd little sunset picture… Dark and gloomy except for one high sirrus that was lit by the setting sun!
