When I flew on Monday I pulled my chapstick and saline solution out of my purse and put them on top of the pile that went through the x-ray machine so they could see what I had. No problem with either, fortunately.

I suspect some of the agents are just as confused as we passengers are (and probably just as dumbstruck by what is/is not allowed).

Ah, I got confused by all the J-names and lost track of who was going where.

Isn't the ratio something like 107 men to every 100 women? It's not the huge comic book store-esque mismatch that popular entertainment seems to think.

According to the US Census, 48.3% of Alaskans are "Female persons." For the US as a whole, this is 50.8%, as of 2004. A hundred years ago, even thirty years ago, the difference would be more pronounced, especially in some areas.

Maybe I can just go to Vegas instead.

Maybe I can just go to Vegas instead.

YES!!!!

No. Stupid work.

Sad now.

Not as sad as I will be having three meals a day with my crazy boss and no gambling AT ALL. Tell the guys at O'Shea's hi for me?

Dudes. The couple on Bones is Dylan and Kelly?!?

Your life-jacket can be found under your seat, but please do not remove it now. In fact, do not bother to look for it at all. In the event of a landing on water, an unprecedented miracle will have occurred, because in the history of aviation the number of wide-bodied aircraft that have made successful landings on water is zero.

Well, there was a hijaked 767 that made a water landing. While the landing might not have been "successful," many passengers survived. In fact, many of those who didn't survive died because they failed to listen to instructions and inflated their life-jackets while still on the plane.

why is there nothing on tv I wanna watch the one night I get home at a decent hour. I guess this is a sign that I should do the house cleaning that got skipped the last 2 weekends.
