Time is Flying

Back again and realize that time has slipped by just like I mentioned in my last blog.  There have been several times I have had thoughts to blog about.  Yet, I don't have the determination to stop everything and post.  It seems my motivation is fleeting.  One minute I want to pour out my thoughts and then swoosh, the feeling is gone.  So here is a quick summary of my thoughts since I last posted.

Flew out to Cali to visit family for Thanksgiving and reunite with old friends.  The plane ride there and back provided these blog thoughts:  

Check It at The Curb Damn It!

There should be a flying etiquette book written starting with baggage.  If your bag is so heavy and fat that you have to shove it in the overhead then maybe you should have checked it.  If the airline offers free baggage check, USE IT! I don't want to be hit in the head with your carry on while you find your seat.  Also, I don't want to have to stand and wait to get off the plane while you struggle to get your bag down.  I checked mine so I could get off the plane easier.  Let me by and you wait. 

The Nose Knows

Next chapter, Smells.  Don't bring stinky food or use smelly lotions etc.  In tight quarters it is nauseating.  I don't want to smell your Caesar salad or pepperoni pizza.  I also don't want to smell your hand lotion or sanitizer.    And leave your shoes on.  No one wants to see or smell your bare feet as you prop them up on the seat in front of you.  YUK!  Your not in your house.

I think people have lost the ability to adjust to group settings and think about others.  It is a shame.
