  1. Costing more than 5 $Can or US. Best regards, RA1
  2. I am happy Canadians appreciate a US actor, Leonard Nimoy. Now, if the Canadian $5 note was worth anything it might be serious to deface it (especially if that decreased its value to nil). My intent is not to make fun of Canadians or their monetary policies/economy. We here in the US cannot cast stones from our house of glass. Best regards, RA1
  3. I think he must mean the best 8 inches or more ad. You are being spoofed, if you did not catch it. Never mind this yo yo. Best regards, RA1
  4. Her I rememember. Best regards, RA1
  5. I do not remember her or Ur. A later Lucy relative? Best regards, RA1
  6. I didn't realize Oz had a personal life. Thanks for almost enlightening me. Best regards, RA1
  7. "crowing about the high US dollar". I quite agree, so long as there is no crowing when it goes the other way, which it will. I well remember when I was traveling to the UK on a very frequent basis, the Pound Sterling was actually on par with the USD for a day or two. Also within a 2-3 year period of this, the Pound was at 2.25 USD. So, been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Best regards, RA1
  8. And, to avoid the risk that the commuter would take the wrong runway? Best regards, RA1
  9. I didn't realize BA flew into LEX. Best regards, RA1
  10. Where is the "Express" boy you saw when there? Best regards, RA1
  11. I consider any aircraft that does not arrive intact to not OK. I have always assumed that if I (the pilot) and the aircraft arrive without damage, everyone on board will be reasonably happy. Best regards, RA1
  12. I agree that MIA is a circus and FLL is superior in many ways. However, I find it interesting that various among us either prefer or are willing to believe that carriers other than US carriers are OK or even superior. Price is NOT that determinate. Regardless I welcome their comments about various aspects of the flights and carriers they use. I certainly agree that no carrier is perfect. Here I mean safety. But, I have been scared more than once while riding on foreign carriers and that includes SwissAir, Air Caledonia and a few others. Did I mention Ansett? If you arrive alive, it must have been an OK flight. Best regards, RA1
  13. I have eaten in a lot of WH's as I have traveled around the SE. Generally they are predictable in the fare they offer to include a welcome when you come in the door and plenty of "background" noise with clattering plates, calling of orders, etc. while you are present. Nothing great but OK for what you expect and pay. However, there is one WH I attended because it was convenient for both me and a friend of mine to meet there once a month when he was in town. We mutually decided to abandon this WH because the food was always cold. I wrote to company headquarters and got a most unsatisfactory reply. Basically the reply said, contact the local franchisee with my complaint. If the company itself cannot suggest a remedy or control their franchisees then why is either in business in their current form? Obviously, the corporate world is out of control (just like the rest of the world). Best regards, RA1
  14. RA1

    Hijack poll

    I thought it was a wet noodle. Whenever you stay on topic, I think you might be running a fever. I know that is true for me. Best regards, RA1
  15. I am not suggesting that anyone is taking advantage, although that would not surprise me. Best regards, RA1
  16. A good deal is when both sides get something out of it. Desperation is NOT part of that equation. Best regards, RA1
  17. Sorry he is having those problems but I have to think he likely is doing the right thing by seeking help ( I hope that is what he is doing). How many mentally unhealthy people are professional sports figures? I cannot think it healthy to beat up your wife or girlfriend, never mind killing them or friends. Of course, this instability is not limited to sports but most of the rest of it is not as high profile. Crazies are everywhere. You and I may be the only sane ones and I am a little worried about you. Best regards, RA1
  18. Fly That Cock and then join the Mile High club. Fun things to do while flying. Best regards, RA1
  19. I suppose the Chinese aircraft carriers, submarines and fighter/bombers are just an illusion? The Chinese are VERY militaristic and pushing their "influence" further every day. I suppose the Chinese pollution is only imaginary also. They seem to have no regard for air quality, never mind the quality of life for the average Chinese. Sorry to say all of the above. Best regards, RA1
  20. I agree with you MsGuy. The Business Insider article (blog?) could have describe the US except it would have to be noted the 10% inflation rate is for "normal" goods, not the basket used to rate inflation here. Otherwise the corruption, etc. apply as stated. Funny how the "media" slants things, isn't it? Not. Best regards, RA1
  21. Are they part of us or them? I don't wish to kill anyone or see them hurt but, if they are going to fight regardless, why should we continue to stick our nose in? We are obviously not taking care of our domestic problems adequately and doing almost nothing positive in foreign problems or, in some cases, actually doing more harm than good. Sorry to say. Best regards, RA1
  22. Why would you let your dogs swim in polluted water? They are a very important part of your family. So, protect them. I know you do. Best regards, RA1
  23. I agree there is no hope even with a score card. But, these are amateurs fighting against amateurs. If the big bad wolf happened along (or the Soviet bear or the US eagle) they would run like rats deserting a sinking ship. Don't misunderstand. I want someone other than US to fight around the world and the middle east is a good a place as any. Some don't seem to get it. Sell arms and let them fight and we all win. Best regards, RA1
  24. I like Brussel Sprouts and broccoli. Buy them young, small and tender and serve in garlic butter. I like boys like that also, but not too young and I have not yet tried them in garlic butter. Best regards, RA1
  25. Russia can always go to (stay at) war. Saudi Arabia not so much. OPEC has to hire it done. Best regards, RA1
