Facts are overrated

So what’s left to differentiate them? That they don’t serve food other than pretzels? That’s a big selling point?

We will soon find out with Southwest. They are moving to assigned seats because they think many travelers are avoiding them due to their open seating. However they may find that their most loyal customers no longer have a good reason to choose Southwest. Time will tell.

I’d like to see some airline adopt a seat + weight pricing. You pay a base fee and then you’re weighed with your luggage.

You and I have different definitions of upper class.

Basically your lower back near the spine doesn’t get a ton of blood to heal itself. I’ve been doing back bends once or twice a week and my low back pain went away after about 6 months.

Yoga was the start of my wife’s back problems. Too much flexibility and not enough strength.

I did tell her. I haven’t noticed it since her hysterectomy, maybe it was the cysts.

Wait until you hear about inward singing! I can whistle inward too but not as well as outward (it takes a lot more air, and my range is reduced).

One time I had to wait in line behind this guy who had a very strong metallic odor, it was making me sick. I’ve smelled it a few times since and recently smelled it on my mother. Not sure if it’s a drug. Probably not fear. Very interesting though.

Nobody is judging you anymore. You’re free to live how you want to. Most people struggle to find a balance between working and life. So you’re not alone there.

I met this traveling nurse who spends fall, winter and spring working, and then spends summer traveling and hiking in the mountains. I met a teacher who does the same. There are many seasonal workers who put in a lot of work in a burst and then take time to themselves - firefighters, wine grape harvest, ski lift/resort.

Keep an open mind, and live simply. Keep few possessions which add a lot of value to your life. Think of what you want to do, then figure out how to get there. At least then if you are working a boring job, it is moving you toward your own goal.
