Photo-A-Day #244 12/08/05

A T-Rex runs amuck in the Pittsburgh Airport. I saw this last night around 11:45pm (I wasn’t staying around till midnight to take the picture for today’s Photo-A-Day. I knew I’d be back today to get the shot.) It is a pretty fantastic thing to see.

What wasn’t fantastic was the oblivious dolt in front of me in the security line. So Captain oblivious takes a grey bucket to put his laptop in, moves ahead enough for me to take another grey bucket for my laptop. I go to get my laptop from my backpack and C.O. takes the grey bucket I picked up for my laptop and puts his laptop bag inside it. First of all, bags don’t go in grey buckets, they are for laptops and electronic devices, get a helmet. Second of all, What! Do you think I am your personal assistant or something, I mean I could be someone’s personal assistant, details and organization are my thing but not yours buddy. I got that bucket for me, not you, What a jerk. I hope he felt the heat of my disapproving stare. Confrontation is not my thing.

What is cool though is that Pittsburgh Airport has free Internet Access, sweet.

Quick blog…

Hey there, about to go to my next demo this morning. I finished Track of the Cat last night and started A Superior Death. I think I’m gonna like Anna Pigeon.

It was a good thing my connection last night was a 2 1/2 layover because out of the 4 people on my flight from Binghamton I was the only one to get to my connecting flight.

I’m not going to want to get into a political discussion about what happened in Miami yesterday. I watched the talking heads on Fox News ask their insipidly stupid questions and debate the actions of the air marshalls. I for one would want to make sure that any threat percieved or otherwise was neutralized. I make no apologies for my stance on this. There is so much I want to say about this but will keep it to myself. But talking heads, you weren’t there you don’t have the training you have the luxury of sitting back and playing Monday morning quarterback. The air marshalls did what needed to be done, that is why they are air marshalls and you are not. Decisions need to be made quickly and decisively. No talking head can do that because they have the time to change thier minds.

I’ll be back home tonight. I have some time at the airport so I may get a cool picture there. The Pittsburgh airport has some cool stuff there.
