Apparently, I am STILL a BIG THING in Miami
Yep, last night again confirmed I am STILL HUGELY in Miami!!
Had to take the wifey to MIA (Miami Int'l Airport) last night, as she is headed to Denver to hang out on the slopes with daughter #2; told her not to call me if she ends up in The ER. Been a while since I been to MIA, as FLL way more efficicent, and closer, but wifey needed a cheap ticket, flying Frontier, does not get much cheaper than that. Drive is 47 miles from the homestead, left at 6 PM, traffic SUCKED BALLS, took almost 1.50 hours, BUT based on the number of drivers beeping at me, and the even greater number flashing me 'You're #1' hand signs, I am still remembered AND revered; it also appears many were shouting encouragement to me, but I cannot lipread. Many more examples of this on the drive down vs. return trip, as drive down required top-tier driving skills, and many amateurs in my path were given lessons. The drive home may have contained an equal amount of adoration, but I missed much, as jumped in the express lanes on I-95 North and probably passed 20K sitting in standstills, and at 85+ MPH it was difficult to look over to my fanbase. I return on Tuesday, early AM, to get the wifey, I am hoping for a similar reception, as obviously I have been missed!! And some of you thought I was on a downslide,,, |

Ringo's momma, my daughter #2, says she is taking him to Denver soon, I cannot argue this one, her dog; she will do so when she buys a house in the next few months.
Dolly will be devastated, as 2 years old now and only knows life with Ringo. So, plan is to get an Aussiedoodle next month, as Dolly deserves, and needs, a companion dog. I am also thinking about getting a third dog, as it not much more work than two, considering a GSD. |

On our way to KW years ago we spent the night in Cutler Ridge. Wasn't sure we would make it out alive.

It wasn't the traffic that was the threat, it was the pavement apes. All night long, gunshots and sirens. I figured the Vette would be lucky to survive the night in the parking lot.

I only go to the airport, the port and the arena, BUT I also know where not to drive. Miami has some of the greatest neighborhoods in American, AND also some of the most deadly. bezos bought his $80M home on this island, Jared and Brady live there too: |

WTAF?
I thought you had stacks? Frontier? Even United in coach is a shithole these days. And their planes are falling apart. Frontier is barnyard level treatment. Dude, c'mon. I wouldn't put the redheaded stepchild on a bargain airline. |

It is a shithole, which is why I left as soon as I could. Yet some of the most skilled and cut-throat drivers out there, maneuvering around signalized rotaries, huge potholes, four-into two intersections, and hellish traffic.

I been to beantown at least five times, other than having a few fine pilsners at CHEERS, not much is coveted. BTW, I may still have an open tab at CHEERS, you can have ONE, ONLY ONE, beer if you stop in. |

Flying on Frontier gives you about a 15% chance at making some money selling video to Worldstar. Why not earn while you fly?
