    Midway Airport

    Want a REAL thrill...do that an night in winter! ~ short runway, middle of a neighborhood, slidin' sideways on snow & ice in a 737, through the Jack in the Box 'drive through' on the corner...Now THAT wuz interesting! Walking past the Capt as I was leaving I made a smart-ass remark about sliding 80 more feet and coulda just dripped me at my car...He winked and NEXT time buy a first call ticket and i will ! Now I just pay the nickel more and go to ORD. Our driver went a bit long and then bounced the landing. I swear we hit an arrester cable when we touched down the second time. When he left the runway I saw the gas station from this wild ride. http://xsimreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/kmdw-crash.jpg Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  3. Using the 'Bush was warned' excuse and trying to frame it in post 9/11 terms is misguided at best. Clinton had a chance to get Bin Laden but passed as well. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  4. Good friend of mine was a USMC embassy guard in Rome and Tanzania. I'm wondering how anyone got over the wall without suffering lead poisoning. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Midway Airport

    Flew in and out of Midway this weekend. On approach I thought we were gonna drag a gear through the roofs of the surrounding homes. I'm looking out the window waiting to see runway and all I see are rooftops. That is one tight LZ. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  6. What I find most amusing is everyone here thinks the Romney's prepare their own taxes. I can see it now...George and Ann at the kitchen table with their shoebox full of receipts... Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  8. I got to drive it all of about 4 miles from my garage to the warehouse. Kept hoping someone with a quick ride would pull up next to me. I'd get tickets in that thing...lots of 'em. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  9. Son in law is storing in a friend's warehouse. Not sure of the mods but I'm pretty sure suspension and exhaust. Fastest car I've ever driven by a mile. Too bad it has to spend the winter in storage. http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/airdvr1227/?action=view¤t=IMAG0325_zpsffea068e.jpg Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  10. FWIW, "Little Black Sambo" was Burmese, not African. If you see a tiger in Africa, it is in a zoo; tigers are indigenous to Asia. BSBD, ' Winsor It's hard to believe I use to eat at a chain called Sambo's "Little black Sambo" was a favorite book as a child. To this day I can't look at a stack of pancakes without reminiscing.

  12. Here in liberal land they're still trying to count to 47. No one cares if the president expresses a desire to redistribute the wealth amongst all of us. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  13. But the indissoluble link of union between the people of the several States of this confederated nation is, after all, not in the RIGHT, but in the HEART. If the day should ever come (may Heaven avert it !) when the affections of the people of these States shall be alienated from each other, when the fraternal spirit shall give way to cold indifference, or collision of interests shall fester into hatred, the bonds of political association - will not long hold together parties no longer attracted by the magnetism of conciliated interests and kindly sympathies ; and far better will it be for the people of the disunited States to part in friendship with each other than to be held together by constraint. Then will be the time for reverting to the precedents which occurred at the formation and adoption of the Constitution, to form again a more perfect Union, by dissolving that which could no longer bind, and to leave the separated parts to be reunited by the law of political gravitation to the center.

  15. You need to read your own links a bit further perfessor; Update: My colleague Derek Thompson picks up the baton from me and digs deeper into the demographics of the so-called 47 percent. One important note he makes is that it's often the lowest-income people in these red states who are most likely to vote Democratic -- it's just that the rest of the population is conservative enough to carry the states into the Republican column.

  16. That would be funny if i knew you weren't dead serious. I guess you don't notice the deductions on your paychecks that we've been paying our entire lives. Sorry there's no cure for your affliction. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  19. Except it isn't anywhere close to the truth. Other than that, I guess you're right. I'll wait for you to tell me which parts are not truthful.... BTW...if it turns out that this costs him the election I'm good with that. It will confirm what I suspect about the future of the US. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  23. I, for one think we should recognize the efforts of the Chicago teachers and commend their record of success. 6 out of 10 actually graduate and 6 out of 100 eventually graduate from college. Impressive to be sure. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
