I'm Back!
Thursday, May 15, 2008
I spent 9 hours in the Memphis airport yesterday. I don't like Memphis anymore. You guys aren't the barbeque capital of the world, so serve something else... anything else, OK?
My flight was delayed while we fueled due to the possibility of thunderstorms in Memphis. Then we sat on the tarmac for 25 minutes burning the fuel because they miscalculated and over-fueled. Nice to see they're not concerned about the cost of all of all that fuel or the passengers they stranded in Memphis all day, huh?
I'm still tired, but I got more than three hours of sleep last night. Regular posting should resume next week.

Flying sucks. Welcome back

Coming back from Katrina, I flew through Memphis. I was supposed to have a one hour layover (but still had to go out, pick up my bags and go through ticketing a second time (cheap ass budget airline)). The layover became a nine-hour torture session, complete with a $30 sandwich, fries and soda. You have my sympathy.

I adore Memphis, but last time I was there I hung out on Beale Street and drank and listened to the blues band on the street. I was camping, so I didn't try out the airport :)

I really hate flying. My rule of thumb is, if it's a trip that can be driven in 12 hours or less, I drive. I'm willing to go an hour or two beyond the 12 guideline too, as long as I can make the trip without stopping overnight.

Philly: I used to like it, but it definitely sucks now. Thanks!
Billy: A fast food burger, fries, and soda are only a little north of $10.00. I didn't realize I was getting a deal. ;)
April: I'm guessing the airport isn't an attraction the city is noted for. :) If it had been 8:30 PM instead of AM I might have tried something fun like that.
Chappy: This is about 16 and I was traveling solo. 10-12 is my max for that. Besides, it's only supposed to take 5 hours to fly with a layover. It was on the way out in any case.
Sean: Not yet.
Venjanz: Yeah, coming from the guy that lives in a city with straight bills and dirty wife beaters that's quite a compliment. You may want to reconsider moving into my neighborhood. I hear they can smell big O from miles away.

Well, I'm not going to worry about someone who self-censors himself when writing "shit". I'm sure he doesn't have it in him to do bad things.
