I keep commenting on your posts, lol. No intent there!

That may not entirely true. See, the FEC is 100% owned by  Grupo México Transportes (GMXT). Brightline is leasing use on the tracks. While I don’t know the complete ins and outs of their agreement, GMTX is not completely without resposibility for maintenence/improvements.

Yeah...I’m not sure I buy the depression angle in the review. I think Van just straight cracked because she was no longer the rational/successful one and went all mental to try to re-gain some sense of ownership of her life, regardless of the morality/validity of it. Which in a broader term, seems to be a theme for…

Yeah, you were earlier. My flight was delayed until 10:40 so I took my sweet time outside sending txt or whatever. Didn’t get to Casa ‘til probably 9:15 ish. The other place across the way was packed, presumably with a group from the 7pm flight, so I avoided that mess and took my chance on the place with only one old…

I was at Casa Bacardi. The waitresses were already flipping up chairs and sweeping it out. So I had my drink at the bar and mindlessly stared at some meaningless, non-playoff bound hockey (because the bartender girl couldn’t figure out how to change the channel) until it got closer to boarding. That bird story is…

Hey! Btw, took that late flight to NYC on Jet Blue from RSW. There were 2 places open although they both had their grills shut down so Ritz Bits it was, ha. I wasn’t about to pay $18 for a ceasar salad.

The pilots, the planes, and the slots, basically.

The Pico sketch was entirely based off of a story Melissa put on Twit a few months ago. She was in a grocery store (I think) and someone famous had tragically died that bummed out a ton of people (coulda been Norm or Bob, I forget). Anyway two old Latina ladies were right next to her and the one lady’s response was,…

Maybe. That’s sorta fair. But if you want stay in the vein of unexplained, shifting-perspective, quasi magical type of story, we can look at some examples like “The Sixth Sense” or “The Shining”.  “A Christmas Carol” going back farther was Dickens in the 1840's and fits the criteria, which was surely influenced by…

How no one has suggested a CTS-Blackwing is beyond me. It’s the absolute perfect car for this request. 

Dude, it’s like maybe $300 at most to upgrade out of basic coach. Like Hobbs said, if you can’t swing that in a budget you don’t have a travel budget. 

You flew coach on a flight over 5 hours AND managed to be on that one particular flight? Yikes. No wonder you are cranky in this post.

It was a fun twist, but I don’t think one can call it Afro-surrealism. This particular element in storytelling has been around for a loooong time. An easy (a relatively recent, but not really recent) example was how it was used time and time again in the Back To The Future films, which wasn’t exactly Afro-surreal, ha.…

Not at all. 106 was a mandatory stop for every hip-hop artist at the time. Anyone who was anyone “came” through there.

I get what you mean, but JetBlue doesn’t really have business class except for a few of their long-haul flights. I just flew them and “upgraded” to the Even More seat. I guess it was worth it, but it ain’t all THAT fancy.

Ah yes, I did forget about MCO. I still don’t think that changes the number to over 200 even if there are a bunch of A320's (or larger) there. I could be wrong, though.  

250 seat difference is a little (probably actually closer to double) high of an estimate. MIA definitely handles the majority of the international/big boy plane flights for FL, but they also serve a ton of puddle jumpers as well. FLL is busy as well, but most of it’s flights are Southwest, Jet Blue, and Allegiant.…

“We aren’t at the point yet where they are necessary, but it seems we are reaching an inflection point.”

Appreciate the reply. My question now is two and a half-fold:

Agree to disagree, I suppose. All good.
