Air B&B

It's not quite a rental app, but our home is once again being used for and Air Bird and Brood.  For years we have hosted phoebes and their nest.  This year is no exception.  The hard working couple was busy with nest building through the weekend.  There may not be rental money involved, but we are happy to be hosts.

Mexico's Smoking Warnings

My trips to Mexico have given me hours to spend in the small Monterrey airport while waiting for my departure.  This morning I spent time in the Dufry store.  The country's smoking warnings are much more visible and direct than those in the states.

Southwest Tug Slogans

Air travel is usually stressful.  Missed flights, TSA delays, and cramped planes are only a few of the pains of traveling by air.  The airlines contain an assortment of staff that crosses the spectrum from friendly and helpful to uncaring and nasty.  For the most part, the staff at Southwest appear to enjoy their work and spread good feelings with their passengers.  Silly things like painting slogans on the Tugs help keep it light.

I'm a little pushy.

I go out with runway models.

Station to Station

Saturday's are the one day of the week where my brain gets to wander wherever it wants with hopefully no thought of the responsibilities of work.  Most days it wanders from song to song.  Pull out of the station today with David Bowie.

Useless Internet Information

I was shocked to look at the Weather Underground app recently and note a warning for a tropical cyclone.

I wasn't too worried as it was over 9000 miles away and moving at a speed which gave me over forty days to prepare.  That's to say IF a tropical cyclone from the Indian Ocean could reach the Great Lakes area.  It's the kind of irrelevant, useless information for which the internet excels.
