Random Thoughts or Whatever

I ordered a stack of old "Arizona Highways" magazines from ebay. They arrived yesterday. Wow! I had forgotten how pleasant a good magazine used to be. Similarly, I miss a good daily newspaper.

In yesterdays NATIONAL TV NEWS the lead story was done huge forest fire in Georgia --NO MAP WAS PUT ON SCREEN! WTH? Georgia is a pretty big place, no?

In addition, "M" doesn't appear until 1 million; and "K", like "J", doesn't appear at all. (Per Google AI.)
 
Random thought: Why do people like flying so much?

Seems like flying traffic is going up all the time. I think it is the most unpleasant experience possible short of a head on collision. I suppose it would be marginally more pleasant in a private jet?

Flying is OK.

Almost everything to do with airports, modern airplane seats, and getting onto and off of airplanes, are what suck.

If I could just go to an airport, immediately walk over and get into a plane, take off, fly to where I'm going, land, and immediately get off and go to a car, it wouldn't be bad.

Yeah, no kidding. One of my biggest pet peeves with news stories, are those who DON'T GIVE YOU THE EXACT LOCATION where something happened. Map, or a precise place name at the very least. If it's important enough to report on, it's important enough to specify WHERE.

Hang on....you mean to say, JILLION isn't a number? :dunno:
A blonde was watching the news with her husband when the newscaster said, “Six Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident.”

She starts crying to her husband, sobbing, “That’s horrible!” Confused, he says, “Yes, dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is that risk involved.”

After a few minutes, still sobbing... she asked, “How much is a Brazilian?”

Pre 911 it wasn’t too bad.
