Exactly. But there is hope.

Strangely, I can only sleep on the small planes. Smaller the plane, the better I sleep.

Shoot, I just want PE to be available. I haven’t had a seat that reclined on an international flight in 30 years (when I got lucky and an upgrade to business on a BA flight). I mean that literally. I end up on the backrow in coach most of the time.

The only ones I’ve seen have been sports or entertainment figures.  The few old moneyed I’ve seen have been more in to boats.

Business has shifted so far upscale that it’s hard to find any flights with first class anymore. Looking up, and a LOT of airlines have only 2 classes now. Even Eithad Air doesn’t offer but 2 classes on almost all their flights (non A380).

Yes, business class is where first class used to be.  Actually MORE than where first class used to be.

I sort of changed tracks in the middle of this e-mail.

Too damn true.

Once again, the Simpsons predict the future

Right now it is range that matters. The miles/kW or 100km / kW that will matter in 10-20 years.

They are pretty laid back dogs and don’t eat much more than a lab or the like. You actually have to watch them, we have a friend with one that is pushing 150 lbs because he’s a food sneaker and lazy.

I have only two complaints about the big ones.

Nah, that’s for the off-lease trucks that cost $90k new but are now a deal at $60k.

First gear: I would think that 99.9% of all Bentley sales were caused by Emotional Sensitivity.

2nd gear: I’ve seen a couple Tuckers. I saw a bit of the movie too. Those 50 cars are worth a crap ton of money.

35-65 mph chase?

It’s a $60k+ truck. It’s supposed to $60k+ truck things. Like

Things changed on higher end travel around the time the Concorde went away.

Like I said, it’s a double bell thing. People spend $25-35k or $55-65k for a vehicle. Not sure why culturally that is happening.

Others aren’t getting a point I am trying to make. NYC subways are miles better than the late 70s. But no other country would have allowed the subways to get even close to that bad.
