Fallacious Assumptions, etc.
I’m not trying to focus on any one person here, because there are several people who have made assumptions about my beliefs based on other beliefs I hold, and I want to clarify some of these issues in case there are others drawing the same conclusions. I believe that my beliefs are biblically accurate, and I do not want any controversy over them to be based on issues that I don’t really believe.
What a day . . .
It must be due to a combination of factors, like the fact that I have a one-way ticket, and the fact that I got to the airport so early that they graciously switched me to an earlier flight. But, whatever the reasons, I was flagged for special attention at the security checkpoint. Basically this meant doing the same stuff I normally would, with the exception of waiting longer, getting the wand by hand, and getting patted down. They also hand-checked my carry-on and swabbed it for explosives (and probably drugs while they were at it). That still left me with about 2 hours until my new flight time, though.
And I don’t mean Politically Correct.
I’m sitting at the airport at my gate, and I’m surrounded by other laptop users (we’ve used up all available outlets for charging purposes). Unlike me, however, all of these gentlemen are using PC laptops. I have to feel sorry for them as they sit around using their laptops that are much bulkier than mine, but can’t accomplish anything mine can’t. In fact, from a cursory glance, my slender machine is more capable than any of theirs. Also, I’m sure some of them cost more than mine, and weigh twice as much, with the same size screen.
Maitre d’s
One thing I’ve noticed in a couple of restaurants lately is that the maitre d’s walk very slowly. So slowly that I almost can’t walk slow enough to follow them without stepping on them. At first I thought they were just tired or lazy, but then I figured it out.
