POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

Completely Disjointed

What follows is simply the crap I was thinking on the plane to Chicago today; you are forewarned.

The 3.2 MP camera on my Storm doesn't do it justice but I have to say the view from the Colorado Springs airport is spectacular.  Well, at least it is to the west.  I headed east, away from my beloved mountains.  The spiritual connection I get from mountains is something I have a hard time explaining, but it's real and I'm grateful to God for it.

The good thing about small planes is that there is no middle seat. 

I must be irritable today, I'm getting annoyed at people for planning ahead and doing what I should have done: bringing their own snacks onto the plane.

I've never been to Chicago other than driving through, so I'm really looking forward to this trip.  I just hope I am ready for these meatings.  I guess it'll give me something to do in the hotel room during commercial breaks of NCIS.  Should be three hours of awesome tonight.

I know not all male flight attendants are gay, but this one is.  My gaydar sucks and it's going crazy.

I had Pizza Hut Express at the airport for lunch.  It'll help me appreciate Chicago pizza that much more.

The line to the bathroom has been steady for an hour. Glad I took care of business during the delay.  Yeah we were delayed while the maintenance staff cleaned up what was left of some birds that played chicken with the Canadair Jet.  If it was a bigger plane, would they have known better than to try?

That flight attendant guy just announced we have an hour left.

We seem to be turning.  I wonder if the pilot is dodging speed bumps or something.  Maybe those birds have angry friends?

So, can someone define a RINO for me?  Is it about the ACU score?  Is 60% enough?  70%?  If not the score?  What?  Specific issues on which a candidate must toe the line?  Who picks the issues?

I think we just hit the speed bumps.

I should have brought a book to spare you all this self-indulgent tripe.

Does anyone know of an alternative to those insipid ear buds?  I cannot get them to stay in my ears when I exercise.

The line to the bathroom just slowed down.  No, wait, it's busy again.  One bathroom for sixty people, it's like basic training all over again. Only different.

These clouds look puffy, like I could jump on one and bounce into space.

Some of these people aren't staying in the bathroom long enough to wash their hands.  I don't like that because it makes me feel judgmental.

Karl Rove's problem is the rules have changed and he doesn't realize it.  The rest of his problem is that he is unwittingly responsible for the change.  Having Bush act like a Democrat light made Pelosi and Obama possible.  How should he have known that the public would get sick of liberal policies and vote for socialists?

I'm starting to see the argument in favor of leaving Congress to the Dems. I understand it's a matter of long term vs short term thinking. I just don't like the idea of sacrificing too much short term; especially when it makes the long term that much harder to fix.
We've either started our descent or the rubber band needs rewound.
