Love dogs. My dogs, your dogs, any dog that won't bite me.

Hate dogs on airplanes. Wouldnt' want my dog on an airplane, let alone someone else's.

I have all but given up on fast food. I like to take my son to Whataburger for a #24 breakfast occasionally but otherwise fast food is neither cheap nor fast now. And certainly not as good as it was when we were young a hung over.

I mean it's just colors, right? green means rain, yellow storms, red heavy storms??? Then find your house or location and check the color at that location?

Gotta be pretty dense to miss that one.

I was underwhelmed about five years ago. Food was decent but not incredible and the Covid virtue signalling was out of control and idiotic. I'm not a return customer. Too much good stuff nearby.

I hate when people say "Can I get...", like "can i get a cheeseburger". Sounds awful.

Back to "I'll do a ... steak/burger/spaghetti" I can't stand when people say "we did sweden last year" or "we did scotland last year". You DID Scotland??? Perhaps you visited Scotland, toured it, played goff there... you did not DO Scotland.

columnist Bill Kristol, the 73-year-old former Republican chief of staff to a vice president, announced last week he is now a Democrat.

This here tells you he lives in the bubble of DC-NYC fantasy Neverland cucktail parties.

Bingo.

This man is the worst kind of RINO in that he's a typical democrat. Never ever would he change a flat tire or walk in a man's shoes that weren't $500 rare hide tassel loafers. He certainly would never set foot in rust belt city other than a campaign photo op. He would probably fake riding a bike to work (like Secretary Pete) after riding in his limo most of the way.

Thing is, he doesn't even have the swagger to get much attention these days. He is pretty much irrelevant.

The opposition is going to FREAK OUT.

Meanwhile if you've ever been to a more popular national park like Great Smokies, you know the average park visitor DGAF and litters everywhere and drives everywhere anyway. If we truly cared about the parks we would stay out of them.

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline.

We keep hearing this dem talking point.

Oddly enough there are about 200 other airlines not going bankrupt that also happen to put fuel in their airplanes. Don't believe everything people tell you.

Politicians understand two words about the common American voter and they are "six weeks"!

Man I think its more like two weeks these days. The brain can only focus on so much, and social media and 24-7 news are force feeding us so much drama and bs... especially regarding Trump.

Consider Bush in 1992. Half the country was undecided. He was so un-polarizing that the swing was potentially huge. Now Consider Trump. 3/4 of the country either would shoot him or take a bullet for him. The swing is much smaller. It's kind of like Edwin Edwards: " if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.". We're at the level of polarization where that's already happened metaphorically, the lines are drawn, and the chips are going to fall where they may

Southwest and Frontier i guess.

Yesterday there was a guy on social media complaining about Southwest's new assigned seat system and that they wouldn't let him bring his guitar aboard.

This is why I stay away from the casual traveler bargain airlines. People throwing a fit about their guitar, their seat, whatever... indicates an overall lack of ability to fit in and not be obnoxious on a few hour ride in a narrow tube. What's their next antisocial malfunction aboard the plane going to be? Flatulence? Tourette's-like cursing? Body odors? Desire to talk politics with me while my headphones are on?

No thanks, keep that crap on Frontier or Southwest.
