Volunteer girl did not approve. New management mucked everything and the situation was dire. She needed to take the offensive if anything was to be done…
Using the power of the pen and a few precision emails the wrong-doers have been exposed for what they did (and didn’t). The blamed are trying to c.y.a. duck and cover. A head rolls. Flames and a flare up here and there. There is renewed hope for the innocent little ones.
My dog-gone dawg has rolled. I don’t know why animals do this but a google search says: “Some wolf characteristics stayed with the dog like the scent rolling instinct. The leading explanation is that they’re instinctively disguising their own scent so that prey animals won’t sniff a predator upwind. Megan Parker, research biologist at the Wolf Education and Research Center in Seattle, says that, yes, wolves-the ancestors of dogs-regularly roll in carrion. But she’s not so sure the reason is to disguise their scent. Both wolves and dogs have plentiful scent glands, she told us, so disguise is probably imperfect at best.It could be they roll in carrion to take the scent back to the pack, telling them they’ve found something interesting. Kind of like a restaurant review. It could also be that they’re marking the carrion with their scent, to tell anyone else who comes along ‘this is mine’. Of course, there’s always the possibility that some dogs may simply enjoy rolling around in carrion or feces, the way we enjoy a scented bubble bath.”
Well, he’ll get a bath alright — and me too from getting too close to him. I don’t know whether to be more upset at the dawg or the prevert that left the gift in the woods.
S’man has the flying bug and the flight sim on the pc just doesn’t satisfy. It’s been 10 years since I flewin a light plane. I will have to bone up on the P.O.H. and get checked out if I am to be the hero.
A common sighting in the garage. The wording does not have the desired promotional effect rather it broadcasts the message that their car is in the shop again. The neighbors are keeping score and won’t be buying this brand model.
Maybe you missed this tip in your travel magazine about those horse collar neck gaskets? (keeps your head off of your shoulders when you snooze upright in your airline seat) The brand that inflates to a pillow could expand and damage the tissue causing trauma injury or death. If the aircraft cabin were to suddenly depressurize the neck doughnut would become a very large very hard balloon. Testing is incomplete and it is undetermined that this balloon pops before the circulation to your head is constricted. Important safety tip 🙂
Midway Airlines shut down today. Again. Their Sept. 11 government bailout money has been spent. What’s next?
They want to hook up with US Airways and operate as an express regional for them. US Airways is some alliance partner. They just applied for and looks like they will get a government loan for 900 million. All they gotta do is stay out of Chapter 11 until the money arrives. Meanwhile they are bleeding 1 million per day. They recognize and publicly admit that something has to change and they can’t keep going like this.
Keeping this in mind, Midway has to find (re)startup capital and secure long term leases for a fleet of expensive regional jets and (re)convince a workforce that has been *had* twice already to stick around and of course promise any customers that their tickets will be good on travel day and line up the usual vendors who have been burned already and… If I was a lender I would have to say to this opportunity: don’t walk but RUN away!
Searching for calories to replace what I burned at the end of my jog, I find them (and then some) at a Sonic Drive In. Perfect. I didn’t even have to put my t shirt on. The car hop brought it outside to my steel mesh table. This was in need of a good steam clean and I felt a tinge of O.C.D. (ala Tony Shalhoubis) as I considered putting a napkin down for each elbow to rest upon. Instead, I left behind my own sweaty schmutz added to the layers.
I survived the wait-in-line ordeal at the DMV. They’ve got the processing of license renewals down to an exact science and it was a reasonably streamlined operation. This age of innocence is passing. I read in the paper about the Bush proposal to upgrade homeland security. Included therein, is the suggestion for the adoption of uniform laws for the issuance of driver’s licenses. This has nothing to do with automobile usage or driver safety. I fear that the next time I have to go in for the road sign test, I’ll be getting a background check as well.
