Red clay
We took a brief tour around the area where the old family farm was located. As I child, I remember driving out to see the farm on rutted old farm roads between old fence lines. The red clay was dotted … Continue reading
Airlines have gone from apathy to antipathy toward their passengers
Four flights (two each way) in three days convinced me of one thing, which we all pretty-much already knew: Airlines hate their passengers. It is possible that they hate their staff, too, because most airline staff seem distinctly unhappy these … Continue reading
