The reason the ATC system hasn't been updated, apparently, is because the airlines want private fliers to pay more than they have been for maintenance. Hard to figure out who to sympathize with there.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

bad baby names - I know a Richard Grippi and a Richard Small. Guess which diminutive they both choose to go by? Yep, Dick.

Well commercial airlines pay something like 95% of the cost but only generate around 70% of the traffic. Corporate jets hit something like 17% and don't even pay 1% of the cost.

When I'm feeling 12, I find the mere existence of Dick Button and Dick Trickle amusing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Re: bad baby names. Family with last name of "Head" choose to name son "Richard".
In college there was a prof of the name Richard Face.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
We have a "Michael Hunt" working in our London office.

Michael Hunt
Ah, highschool memories. A student's dad had that name and a student "band" wrote a song about him.

What are people doing this weekend?
I *must* get my ass into the chair and my fingers on the keyboard to write instead of reading all the SGA fic I can scrounge up.
I ought to clean my computer corner, too. It's a bad day in a writer's world when crawling under the desk looking for dust rats wins out over writing.

You know all that blather and bother about the MoveOn.org ad? They've raised $500,000 in the past 24 hours.

I don't get it. What's so bad about Michael or Mike Hunt?
