The only way there will be any changes is if there is an accident where people die because they can’t evacuate quickly enough due to the cramped seating. Until then, the seat pitch will continue to shrink if the airlines can get an extra row or two of seats on the plane.

It’s shame they crammed in 9 seats on that plane because it ruined it. I liked the 787 when I flew on it last year. However, I was in premium economy on Air Canada with only 7 seats across. The 9 seat across economy section looked really cramped.

I actually picked a high deductible health plan and I’m a type 1 diabetic with an insulin pump. It seems counter intuitive to do that as someone who needs more medically than a normal person. My company offers different standard PPO plans and the high deductible ones. The premiums on the high deductible plans are…

I’m a type 1 diabetic and I feel this way when my deductible resets each year. Insulin is another drug that has skyrocketed in cost over the past decade. Insulin has been around for decades. There have been different formulations for fast acting and long acting but it’s generally been around for a while. There still…

Big deal...my kid did that the other day. Stupid leaky diaper.

I do find it somewhat reassuring when a plane crashes not long before one of my flights. I figure the airlines will be checking their planes more thoroughly and a crash will be less likely when I fly. I’m sure that doesn’t actually happen and even if it did, it would not make an difference. Statistically the odds of…

I always wanted to do what Homer Simpson did when he was arrested.

I actually enjoyed it because I am usually the one getting the pat down. She always used to laugh about my misfortune. I have an insulin pump. The manufacturer of my previous pump said not to go through the body scanners with it and it couldn’t be x-rayed either. I would always get patted down and some of them were…

I think it’s a combination of no filtering since you aren’t wearing clothes and the heated air in the shower rising and bringing the smell instantly up to your nose with no dissipation. This seems like something that should get some sort of scientific study.

That’s pretty much how I feel. If something is so dangerous that it can’t go on a plane, why is it safe to throw in a garbage can. I also haven’t figured out why a 6 oz juice box is dangerous but two 3 oz ones are safe. My wife got hassled for having a couple of 6 oz juice boxes in a quart bag for our son. The first…

I do that in my Volt if people are mindlessly walking in the middle of an aisle in a parking lot. I don’t honk but I get close. Does the Tesla have anything for warning pedestrians? The Volt has a button on the end of turn signal that gives a quieter short repeated chirping of the horn. It mostly just confuses people…

It’s really amazing the Lions didn’t win the division in 2013. It was pretty much handed to them. Rodgers was injured for 5-6 games. The Vikings were awful and the Bears were their usual self.

My memory of that game is a little hazy but I think Favre overthrew an open Sharpe on a similar route 1 or 2 plays earlier.

To prevent further incidents, the TSA will now limit clapping to 3 times and hands must remain fully inside a quart sized bag.

Assuming they are bowl eligible, which they should be considering they even take teams with losing records now, they are going to slaughter the other team in some 8th or 9th tier bowl game.

If that punt game had occurred 10 years earlier, the Bears would have probably won the game. They would have scored with a Hester punt return TD, a couple of fumble return TDs, and an INT return TD. That’s basically what they did to win the game against the Cardinals where Dennis Green melted down afterwards.

I joke with my wife that I’m going to let our son watch Deadwood. He’s going to learn the bad words eventually. By watching Deadwood, at least he will learn to speak eloquently while using them.

It used to be unique. Now it’s just another track.

I took this picture while cruising the Bosporus when I visited Istanbul. At every stop along the way there would be tons of jellyfish at the dock. I heard they have a triathlon there. I’m not sure if they have a less populated jellyfish area.

I was thinking more that Trump wouldn’t allow water to flow the Non-American way but your reason make a lot of sense too.
