You're a soon to be laid off airline pilot. Looking for work. Might be some openings in India.
It is extremely smoky here in the central valley of CA. Here are some webcams in my general area that show the conditions. Adjust for when it is daylight in my part of the world. UTC -8
SORRY. DIDN'T MEAN TO ADD EXTRA STRESS TO YOUR LIFE
With just 6½ weeks until the start of the Olympics, China is tightening security around the various venues. But not really much more than was done in Greece 4 years ago.
These two young ladies from Salt Lake City are pissed. The high cost of gas has forced their mom to cancel cable-tv so she can afford fuel to commute to work.
AVM BBDO is a major ad agency in the UK. The alleged concept behind this Heinz ad was that the product tastes so good, "It's as if you have your own New York deli man in your kitchen."
It didn't get the reaction they were expecting and has been pulled by Heinz. As well might their £10m-a-year contract
Here is an article about it from (ahem) "Fair & Balanced" FoxNews.
I've said it before. The worst message that a Republican candidate can receive is one saying that Dubya wants to campaign for them. Talk about the kiss of death.
Where I am now residing is considered the "Bible Belt" of California. In fact, the City of Turlock, about 20 miles south, was the holder of the Guinness record for the most churches per capita. Also Modesto is the only school district in the entire nation that has a mandatory course on world religions. "Teach, don't preach" is the theme. A desire to make students aware that there is more to life than the conservative evangelical dogma they've been indoctinated with their entire life. A smart move. IMO.
Is Don Imus getting to be too much of a liability for radio networks? I think he should just move his show over to Sirius Satellite radio and then let the flushings of his brain continue without a problem.
It doesn't look as if Boy George will be able to make his scheduled concert appearances in the US. We won't grant him a visa. I wonder if he can get a MasterCard?
And yet another example of Dubya's people violating the laws of our country to achieve the control they desired.
I appreciate your visit. Hope you can return again. Check back later for more.
