In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...
May I Take This Seat?

My daughter and I booked flights on AirTran yesterday and discovered yet another fee tacked on to our ticket.
Sure, it was optional….but, not really.
During the ticket purchasing process we were asked if we wanted to choose our seats ahead of time, and if so, there would be a $6 fee for each way, per person.
Well, since we would prefer to sit together, and since I prefer to sit away from the very last row of seats on the of the plane, next to the line of people who can’t seem to make it for two hours without lining up to visit the restroom, of course we had the extra $12 tacked on to our tickets. But it was our choice.
Just raise the price of the darned tickets and be done with it.
Cargo bays must be flying half empty the way it is with carriers now charging for the first bag. Flight times must really be improving with the lighter airplanes, and less fuel is probably being used. Maybe all that empty space in the cargo bays is transporting all that extra cash to the bank to pay off their debt.
Anyway, I love flying.
I can’t wait…I’m going to be going to Vermont.
I wonder if George W., just for fun, ever drops in on Vermont under cover.
Maybe Halloween would be a good time to do that since that’s when everyone dresses up as him anyway and no one would really be paying attention. They’d never believe it was him setting foot in their state. He really ought to do it…I mean, a President should really visit all 57 states, shouldn’t he?
