I’m going to be on business travel and return late Wednesday night. Rather than take a train like I had hoped, I’m… <shudder> … flying. I’d rather strip naked, douse myself in turpentine, and crawl across broken glass than fly, but what are you going to do?
Actually, it’s not flying, it’s not being able to see the pilots or have any control over the plane at all is what wigs me out. Flying is fun if you are with the pilot.
Anyway, no posts until Thursday. Have fun everybody.
Parting shot… Poor HIllary, now it’s the media that’s screwing her over, not the VRWC! Nope, it’s never because you’re just a nasty vile repulsive shrew-hag with the sincerity of a viper, is it, Hillary?

And an important link to new allegations of torture of Iraqi children by US troops. I can’t believe the damage that we’re doing every second we’re there.
Thanks Bar Slaves!!!

So, you don’t like the fact that you can’t see the pilots or have any control over the plane, but you’re okee dokee with not seeing the engineer or have any control over the train.
OK.
I hope you have a great trip anyway.
Plane crashes don’t have as high of a survival rate as for trains. Plus I’m inconsistent and unstable.
Thanks man.
Good trip friend. I suggest either sleeping pills or lots of booze; both assist me when I travel home.
I also understand the difference in not seeing the pilot vs. not seeing the conductor: trains kinda have this tendency to travel along a pre-ordained path due to tracks, and aircraft kinda have a few more approach options. Also crashing in a train tends to be a bit more survivable due to the shorter distance from you to the ground.
It’s not the fall it’s the sudden violent stop at the end…
Correct!
