What a Trip!

I hate to say this, but United Airlines sucks. I never have a pleasant flight with that airline. Don't they realize that adults are taller than children when it comes to leg room? I am only 5'3" and I can barely fit into the crash position without banging the person's chair in front of me. Those planes feel so dilapidated, I wonder what we are dropping in the friendly skies.

I get the last row and middle seat, between a rotund man and a disinterested man. The guy in front of me decides to put his chair back leaving me to practice good posture for the 5 hour flight. The rotund guy had this annoying habit of licking his fingers after each pretzel he pulled out the bag. No wonder everyone gets so sick..

As we turned to land the flight became quite rocky and people were silent...you know the bad silent as is everyone is thinking "oh man we may be dying" I hear some wheezing..the gal across the aisle is pulling out the barf bag and I think I've never seen anyone use it. It turns out that she was hyperventilating. They had to call the paramedics when we landed...the poor thing...and the airl ine stewards/esses didn't do anything until we landed even though you could hear her wheezing...

The airline stwardesses then pulled out an oxygen tank...I was quite surprised as she figured out how to use it relatively quickly...That will be another post for another time...emergency devices are they really useful??

The Business of Blogging

I've been noticing that blogging has become a business for those that own it. Now with AdSense people can get an additional sense of revenue. I would think that the ramifications of this is that people would begin to write things that would generate revenue and not be true to themselves, or they would stick these ads in the most conspicuous place ...which is a general annoyance to the readers itself (a long list of ads before i can see th post...hmmm ... no fun)...it seems like 1995 all over again...

So this blog thing has gotten out of hand... Is this just a monitored message board of folks who had all wished they were hall monitors in school but never got to be?
