Stats for Pre-Flight ATH - EWR

Delays - 90 minutes late in departing. (So far.)



Shoulder Whacks - 31. (Yes, I kept count.)



Finally on the way home...

11 Hours to Noooowark. Oh boy.

    Lo! Just found your blog the other day on a link from someone else... you know how it is.

    I have to admit that anyone with references to Larry Niven, Robert Heinlein, Michael Crichton, Jimmy Buffet AND a snorkeling report from far off lands has to be a good place to read.
    About the only author missing was John D. McDonald.

    I'll be here for awhile...

    31 shoulder whacks? Was that a long day or just more than enough time with someone who liked to whack?

    Rob,

    Re: shoulder whacks. Click on the links referencing "travel issues" and "stupid people." TBG travels a lot and writes about it much to our delight. :)

    Welcome Rob!

    Glad you stopped by...

    I have probably 20 or so John D McDonald novels... He was a great pulp author- his books are a fun, quick read...

    As for shoulder whacks-
    I was seated on the aisle fairly forward on the ATH-EWR flight, and I got hit in the shoulder by carry-on bags 31 times...
    Since I was traveling with The Woman Who Knows Most Things, I didn't make a scene...
    Had I been alone the story would have had a different ending, probably involving an interrogation room and a session with an air marshal and his taser.

    Enjoy your time here-
    Comments are always appreciated.

Tweaked the anti-spam settings a bit.
Let's see if this does the trick.
