Airport blogging

Posted June 28th, 2007 by lex

Got done early – yay! Hit the airport at 1400 to see if maybe I could catch an earlier flight – denied!

The OR guys are doing some pretty good work these days for the majors. I can’t recall a time in the last six months where I’ve seen an empty seat on a prime time sewer pipe airliner. I did get a stand-by ticket, but when the time came to pass out the only no show left, the weasel behind the counter gave it to a fetching young lass of maybe 20 summers in a halter-top sun dress, as opposed to a grizzled veteran of many years service at the uttermost end of the rim – dressed in khaki’s, too!

Not that I blame him, you know. Would have done the same thing in his shoes.

But I will be after his lunch money.

Credo

"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me."

— John Paul Jones

"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature"

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

— Friedrich Nietzsche

"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."
