I'm on holiday til Halloween, have a kick ass summer.
Comcast is torment. My internet is intermittent, yesterday for the first time in two weeks it was working, this morning not so much...WTF?
While at Disney I was introduced to a few geese that fly up 30,000 ft, this is especially impressive to someone who just got off a plane that cruised at 32,000 feet.
I didn't grow up in the best decade for plane travel. That is to say I grew up in the area of the disaster film, and I watched them all. To this day when the plane I'm on is taking off, I hear Charleton Heston's words from Airport 75, through mashed teeth 'climb baby, climb'
By the age ten I'd been on a plane once and seen several air disaster films. Not a good ratio for the paranoid.
Once on the ground the Folk Implosion lyric 'my plane landed, I'm alive' goes through my head.
This isn't to say I fear flying, I really don't, I just know what can go wrong. For example a small plane pilot can have a heart attack and crash into us poking a hole that kills the crew, and forces Karen Black to fly the plane.

Consider the movie title "Airport 75". Could they have come up with a title more destined to be dated? I guess you have to consider the time that film was made. There was no cable and no video rental so movies were more disposable. You were concerned more about getting people into the theater. "Hey honey. Let's see that Airport 75. It's 1975 and that's one hell of a fresh movie." Nobody cared about the lifespan of the film after it left the big screen. Now, if you made "The Matrix 2001" people would leave that DVD on the shelves in 2025.
However, I advocate the title "Matchgame 74." I identify that show with Charles Nelson Reilly and Brett Summers or whatever her name was. And I'll watch the hell out of that show if I know it's coming on the Game Show Network precisely because it is dated.
As I get older, and more erm dated myself, I find that dated isn't such a bad thing.
are you seriously on holiday until halloween?!?!?!
Not officially, but between now and then I intend to be useless
hahaha...
i tried to be useless with the hopes that i would get fired but no such luck.
