Apparently, I am STILL a BIG THING in Miami

[Onebadcad]

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.

American Air jet clipped Frontier Jet on Miami International Airport tarmac

Updated on: March 8, 2024 / 10:45 AM EST / CBS Miami

MIAMI - Two flights out of Miami International Airport were delayed Thursday evening after one of the planes clipped the other.

As an American Airlines jet was backing up around 8:30 p.m. it hit a Frontier Airlines jet. In a video post on Only in Dade, an airport employee can be seen running on the tarmac to stop the American plane from continuing to back up.

After impact, the American jet had damage to its vertical stabilizer, and the Frontier jet had damage to its tail where the vertical stabilizer went into it, leaving a hole. Both planes will likely be out of commission for several weeks as they are repaired.

"During pushback from the gate in Miami (MIA), the wing tip of American Airlines flight 929 with service from MIA to São Paulo (GRU) made contact with the tail of a parked aircraft. Customers deplaned normally and the aircraft was taken out of service to be inspected by our maintenance team. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience this caused," said American in a statement.

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

Cutler Ridge is VERY tame compared to the heart of Miami.
It takes mad driving skills when navigating the roads of Miami-Dade at any time of the day.

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.

More pavement apes than ever, you have to know where you are at, and where you are going.

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:

I learned how to drive in Boston, Mass, and could therefore make mincemeat out of any Miami driver.

boston is an original shithole, I would not brag on anything done or learned in that dumpster fire!!

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-95 in the tri county, FL Turnpike in the tri-county, Sawgrass Expressway and Palmetto Expressway are easily the fastest roads in the country to drive, unless you are going 180 MPH you will get run over!!

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.

Last time I was in Boston was for my grandfather's funeral; 26 years ago. Driving in with my dad at the time he asked me what it was like to "be back". I told him that it was closer to hell as I ever want to be.

But thanks for the offer.

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