Overheard in the Breakfast Line
Clueless Hipster Chick: "...so I finally got on the Oh-fucking-bamaCare website and found out that I was going to have to PAY for insurance. I'm so fucking pissed!"
Other Clueless Hipster Chick: "Are you fucking kidding me? Obama promised free healthcare for everyone! That's why I fucking voted for him."
(Not a completely accurate quote. They both used 'fuck' at least twice more in the above exchange...)
The fail was so strong with these two it was painful...
The pain came from the realization that these two are registered voters.
TBG - Depressed as hell.

Notes From JAFO
Regarding ACA (ObamaCare)...
Just think- three years and 600+ million just to get the website running and it's FUBAR trying to get enrolled, let alone BUY a policy.
Imagine how well they (the Government, whoever they are) will do actually maintaining and securing the data on the 'site...
And given the success of the website, how well can they possibly do with keeping the actual Health Care System / Industry running at all, let alone efficiently and economically?

Sunday Musical
Caught this delightful ditty over the ending credits on the movie "Slither"...
Well you know I said I'd love you for all time.
Well sometimes I just can't believe you're mine.
But every now and then
I'm ready to say when
Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone.
Well in your arms is where I'll always stay
But something deep inside says not today
Well I'll be sitting here
working on this beer
Oh baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone.
I try so hard each day
To make things go away
There's nothing left to say for tonight
For a couple of days I won't be coming 'round
I'm going to go get lost, I think I might skip town
Now I don't mean to pout
But you plain wore me out
Oh baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone.
Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
I tried dancing, I just want to go home
I know your cooking's great
But dinner will have to wait
Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone
Well I'm in a frazzled state
The party will have to wait
Oh, baby I love you, just leave me the fuck alone.

I Don't Know Art...
...But I know what I like.
And I like porn ON my hotels, but not necessarily IN my hotels.

Impulse Buy
I like a store that has Jagermeister right at the cash register, next to the gum and candy bars.
That's creative thinking...

One For OldNFO
Look what someone left just laying around...
I wonder if they left the keys in her..?

People Watching @ CDG
I am of the opinion that no one in Europe owns a mirror.
Yeah, I know: Pot / Kettle, but c'mon ladies... Show just a little effort.

What Was That Old Saying...
....about the sun shining on a dog's ass?
JAX now has a TSAPreCheck lane.
Now, what could possibly screw this up?
(The easy answer is "transfer your ass to a non-travel position", but that solves the problem in a relatively satisfactorily manner too.)

On Two Wheels...
A quick pro-tip for Motorcyclists:
Unless you are wearing a full-face helmet, no matter how tired you are, do not yawn.
A large flying insect WILL, regardless of the law of averages, fly in your gaping maw and hit your epiglottis at terminal velocity.
This makes safe motorcycle handling difficult, and will lessen your enjoyment of breakfast immensely.

Dry Tortugas Followup
The young программиста ученому фотограф strikes again...
Dry Tortugas (by Denis) from Zaton on Vimeo.
If this can't get some of you lazy bastards off your asses and come down to DRTO on a camping trip, then you just suck out loud.
(Borepatch, Luc & KX59 I'm talking to you!)

Back... But only for a moment.
How I spent my week:
Annnnd, we're back.
We fought the good fight and were victorious.
The really good? The Win was on so many levels...
1. An excellent luncheon on Monday at Crystal Jade in Xintiandi with all the Usual Suspects was awesome.
2. We made it to PVG with plenty of time to spare.
3. Coop and CJ got tagged by outbound customs inspections. Not me. Yay.
4. On the flight from PVG to ORG, Economy Plus was nearly empty.
Coop & I snagged 2 rows of empty seats and thus, were able to get extremely comfortable and snag some sleep. It wasn't a lay-flat like in Biz Class, but it warn't bad.
(But the fact that I like to sleep au natural really made the Flight Attendants really uncomfortable. Those little blankets they give you are really not adequate.)
5. I loves me some Global Entry. 3 minutes to clear C&I in Chicago. Woot!
6. Both my bags made it to Chicago un-pilfered.
7. TSA PreCheck approved in ORD for the flighthome to MCO.
8. Upgrade, baby!
9. Only 30 minutes to 'fix' the power steering the Beater...
10. Home by 2:30 AM.
I spent Tues & Wed catching up with work-stuff, and on Thursday Slaw came to my desk...
Slaw: "Hey... You got plans for next weekend?"
Yours Truly: "Depends. What's up?"
S: "I might need you in Berlin on Friday & Saturday."
YT: "Let me check. Let you know tomorrow."
Actually I did. I had a reservation in St. Augustine with The Woman Who Knows Most Things for Friday and Saturday...
But I've been here 17 years and when the need arises, I go.
The Woman is infinitely patient and understanding. St. Aug is rescheduled and I have a reservation for a flight into TXL.

Will Someone Please Take The 'Kick Me' Sign Off My Back?
Suspicious packages at Jax International yesterday...
Of course, even though they got things squared away by 10:30pm,
pretty much all JAX air travel is FUBAR for the next 24 hours.
Which includes my 6:10 am departure today...
After waltzing around with United for the better part of an hour, I'm rebooked through Orlando.
Which means I have to get to MCO by 5am, and there is absolutely no way I'm asking The Woman to drive 3 hours down and 3 hours back.
She loves me, and she'd do it, but at the cost of a certain amount of Domestic Tranquility.
So, 1am and I'm in the the old beater F150 heading south...
And without too much drama I'm finally at my gate at MCO.
The good? Upgrade to biz for the first leg...
And cleared through TSA PreCheck.
Yay me.
The bad- only 20 more hours of traveling to go.
