I SHOULD BE ARRIVING...

AT MY SON'S HOME JUST ABOUT NOW

The itinerary said arrival at Sacramento International Airport at 11:57 AM (local-PDT). Due to work scheduling conflicts, he has already told me that he might be a little late in picking me up and the drive south to the Modesto area is just a hair over an hour in length. So, as this goes "live" at noon Hawaiian time, it will be 3:00 PM in California. All my guesstimates, and time zone conversions, suggest this will be about the time I arrive.

I'll let you know what REALLY HAPPENED on Sunday's post. My flight was by "payday" airline, which some of you might remember, from earlier posts, doesn't have the best reliability record on Maui.

IF EVERYTHING HAS GONE RIGHT...

I SHOULD BE 35,000 FEET ABOVE THE PACIFIC RIGHT NOW

Headed to Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix AZ. The scheduled departure time is/was 10:40 PM (local-HST). This new Blogger feature that allows preset publication is kewl. At Sky Harbor I will have about a 2½ hour layover before starting the second and final leg of my trek. There are other pre-scheduled posts in the hopper, so check back later. Hopefully I'll be back "live" on the 1st of June.

A QUICK TRIP AROUND THE BLOCK

If you are planning on staying at the Hard Rock Hotel, Universal Studios, Orlando FL, please do not go skinny-dipping in the hotel's pool. That privilege is strictly reserved for the bears.

The project to prevent the Leaning Tower of Pisa from leaning too far ended in 2001. Engineers now say it should remain stable for at least 300 years. Thats pretty fancy predictions for an area as seismically active as Italy.

Did you know that city dwellers have a lower carbon footprint than their country cousins?

We have sent robots into space, and to the depths of the sea. Now we are going to use them to explore one of the harshest enviornments of all. Antarctica.

I am sure this guy lost his jewels when his wife found out how he lost hers.

ANOTHER POINT OF PRIDE FOR AMERICA

NOT!

Amnesty International has released their annual report and the good pl' USA is a featured player. Again.

We all know that with global warming the seas are going

to rise. But what about the lakes? They are going to be headed the opposite direction, it seems. And if the lakes go bye-bye, so does your drinking water.

5 nations (Russia, Canada, United States, Denmark, Norway) border the Artic Ocean. An area believe to have great mineral wealth and possibly vast untapped oil reserves. With global warming opening up the region to new exploration possibilities. For the last couple of years, all 5 have been vying with each other over who owns what there. Finally, they have decided to work in cooperation and establish controls to protect the region from rampant exploitation and enviornmental disasters. This area should begin producing about the time the middle-east oil dries up. Who would have ever thought that Denmark could become an OPEC member?

***

Montana and South Dakota hold their primaries next Tuesday. The final, thank gawd, two primaries of this election. Most people couldn't even find them on a map and, yet, for the first time ever, their votes could actually finalize Obama's quest for the Democratic nomination. Oh, South Dakota is the one with the mountain with all those Presidents faces on it and Montana is its neighbor to the west.

I offer this one with absolutely no comment.

Everybody have a great day. Thanks for coming by. I'll be back later with more.

Aloha
