  1. International air travel is certainly different these days.  16 pax on my 777 DFW-CDG flight a couple of days ago.  Probably the lowest I've seen since this thing started.    25 or so seems to be the average on that flight, with about half of those up front. For AA's sake I'm hoping they have plenty of cargo below.

    Had to take Delta or Air France a few times when American stopped service in the spring.  Those flights were pretty full.

    The good news is that Europe is getting back to normal somewhat.  If they have limitations on restaurant capacity, I certainly can't tell. (At least in France, Spain and Italy.)  And the French are even starting to gripe about the lack of tourists (particularly Americans.)  Got to admit though, it's pretty damn awesome having no problem getting an outdoor table on a beautiful day on the Champ Elysees!

  2. Delhi Crime. Haven’t seen anything here about it, but this is a fantastic series. Based on the actual Gang rape on a bus that happened a few years ago it is as powerful as TV gets. 8.5 on IMBD and 93% on RT. You will thank me later.

  3. Recently asked a coworker of mine, who is a Miami grad, which team he hates more, UF or FSU. To quote him, "I hate Florida more because they have a chance to play Miami every year and choose not to. They would rather schedule an FCS team over our kids."
    With that being said, I'm curious. Why doesn't Florida play Miami every year? [mention=700]Gatorubet[/mention] [mention=624]Loco[/mention] and any other UF grads/fans please explain why.

    Tell him their shitty stadium and fan base don’t exactly help their cause. You may recall that Texas and Florida have a future home and home scheduled, so it’s not we are scared of the Canes. If we are going to play an out of conference in state game every year it’s going to be against half ass U. Very little upside playing Miami annually.

  4. One of my nephews is just a few months into his service with the Marines, so this hits close to home. I hope he never has to ride in one of those death traps.

    It’s an horrific accident. But these amtracks have been driving Marines around for almost 50 years. To call them death traps is being just a bit melodramatic. Most Marines were thrilled to catch a ride in a track and not have to hump those extra miles. It’s the Marine Corps, there is always going to be some risk involved.

  5. I actually drove the LVT-7 (the earlier version of the present day amtrack) for the Jacksonville Gators during my first 2 years at Florida.

    It was actually very stable in the water (albeit slow.) But there was one sure-fire way to sink one leaving the boat. If the drain plug was not in place you would drive off the boat and never come back up. I’m guessing that’s what happened here. If that is what happened we are fortunate so many survived.

  6. My go to restaurant in Seattle (Teriyaki and Wok) is in the Capital Hill area. The owner is kind of a Milfy (and very friendly) Chinese lady who has busted her ass for years making this place great. (Yes it’s basically one chromosome above a food truck, but the food and service are great.)
    I guess the point I’m trying to make is these useful idiots best not fuck it up.

  7. I felt the same way until my daughter was basically kidnapped by my ex from her middle school last Spring.

    Had a group of really good dudes from APD and one from AISD helping me to find her.

    Now the resource officer at her school who "didn't wanna get involved"?  Yeah, he represented the shit-heal LEOs nicely.

    I’ll bet that resource officer was pounding your ex. (Or at least trying to.)

  8. Say what you will about American, but if you live in DFW AA really makes life simpler. My travels during the plague have been convoluted and somewhat painful. Had to jump thru a few hoops to get to Paris the other day. But ended up on Air France out of Atlanta. And other than a good piece of beef there was really nothing about the flight that was better than American.

     

    Looks like AA is going to restart their DFW-CDG flight tomorrow. That will really make travel to (and from) Europe easier. Got my flight on 49 booked for next week.

     

    BTW-For those interested, airports (and planes) have been slowly increasing in traffic the last month or so. (At least to these anecdotal eyes.) And I did get several messages (i.e. warnings) about a nearly full AA flight last week.

  9. Island people, man.  Filipinos, Hawaii, Samoa -- if you knew any of those dudes, you at Spam at their house.  I was down.  Especially with the Filipinos, because we got lumpia too.

    Spam-No way in hell. But one of the reasons I remember the PI so fondly was that I could get Lumpia, fried rice and a San Miguel for one dollar! The bonus prize was an LBFM sitting on my lap while I ate. I’d throw my girl 2 dollars and they thought I was King. Those were the glory days my friend!

  10. I’ve always assumed that it was Kurt Busch investing in the vet clinic. He’s a Vegas native.

    Meanwhile, Brent’s skank wife is now doing cameos for 60 bucks a pop. That’s less money than high pitch gets

    Total skank and High Pitch should be getting a bunch more than that ho.
  11. I’m right on board with those who think this is better than BB. Heck, I’m thinking BCS is one of the finest series ever made.
    But you freaks talking all this Rhea Seehorn trash just need to stop. She ain’t that great.
    Bob Odenkirk is what it’s all about (with a shout out to Jonathan Banks and all the Mexicans.)
