I guess I have seen planes closer during landing than the one I saw out the window yesterday, but those were either just taking off or else coming in for a landing (and thus going much slower). This one was well above 10K feet and going damn fast (as were we)...

my daughter has an apartment at venice beach and one night we were n her balcony watching a trail of about 5 planes all on the same general flight path in a big line doing final approach to LAX. parallelling that was a bunch of lights at least 3 headed out of LAX along the same flight path.

flight paths can get pretty congested

I used to sit on my roof in Clifton, high on shrooms, watching planes fly into CVG for hours at a time. I once saw a spaceship too.

What does that even mean? Good lord hedge. Get some sleep.

I'm using points to fly 19 family members to Fla. next month. Pray for me.

That's pretty awesome of you. That's a ton of points to give up for family.

that is a crazy amount of points.

I bet they're all ungrateful bastards.

It's easy to be ungrateful to 10ac...

10ac flies a lot for his job, nonetheless, I bet that's several years worth of points. I'm selfish. I use my points to upgrade to 1C.

Nice jerb,10ac. You shame me a bit. I have thought about flying some of my less well-to-do relatives to the States, but never pulled the trigger. This sounds horrible, but I don't like them thinking I have money.

Just booked my trip to Scotland for the September 18 vote. All my relatives (that I know of) ate voting to secede. I am in the 'stay the course' camp. Guess that makes me a Tory.

Does that mean gay in Scottish?

Speaking of Scotland, I bought a bottle of 16 year old Lagevulin yesterday and took a sip straight from the bottle when I opened it. Very peaty and medicine-y (like a band-aid), which I like. I took a couple more sips before I poured a glass and added a few drops of water to it. It was better without the water...

I went to Frugal McDoogal's in Fort Mill while I was in Charlotte for the LFC match. They had the 1.75 Glenlivet 12 year old for $64.99 if you paid cash. I was pleased because it is $81.99 at the local ABC store in Goldsboro.

The beer and wine section (the liquor section is segregated) has a nice beer selection too.

Watch Braveheart.

I lived in Edinburgh for a while back in 2000. I used to joke that Scotland needed to "throw off the yoke of the Crown." I gave a rousing speech one night in Dario's Pizza on Lothian Road. I guess those seeds are coming to harvest.

Really, though, what do the Scots gain by secession? I honestly don't know enough to say its fair, foul or inconsequential.

All these years I thought AA was Irish?

eCat - Scotland has a vote to leave the UK on sep 18. It's only a big deal in Scotland. Little coverage here, and I don't think the Brits even care.

Dr. MVN - low blow.

Bklyn- good stuff.
