Sarre's 3th* favorite topic...

...Planes.

On my flight from Nuevo York to Dublin stopover (on my way to Barcelona), I managed to sleep though the entire flight. So much so that I was woken up by the flight attendant after every passenger left the plane and the passage to the baggage claim was closed. Of course this was a heavily doctor-prescribed Ambien CR induced sleep, but non-the-less, never before have I managed to sleep through an entire flight to Europe without so much as coming up for food, drink, or air.

As I stumbled out of the plane, I remembered the fact that in a semi-comatose state I managed to take a second Ambien "mid-flight" because the first one has wore off. As it turned out, it was very close to the arrival time.

So in something that looked like a scene from the Dawn of the Dead, I managed to crawl out of a hole that apparently I was not supposed to be in. This led to being ushered back in and led though the correct exit, once it has been opened back up for me since all the other passengers have long gone.

At that point since my connecting flight was not for another hour and 1/2, and I have not eaten from 20:00 New York time until 12:00 Dublin time (somebody else count that, because I can't right now), I got this following, very pretty thing because it could be eaten on a not-usual-for-airports comfortable sofa (one of the sandwiches was already eaten in the pic):




There's a lot of hyphens in this post - whoever can count them all gets a post card.

doooon't get me started Sarre! In fact, one of my favorite candidates is Ron Paul (a conservative constitutionalist since you probably don't know this!) And yes, I like freedom. And no, I don't think "they" hate us for it. lol

The name of the sport is football. Please, don't disgrace the sport by calling it by that other word. It only demeans the sport. In Barcelona, they play football.
