A wonderfully uneventful flight. An extremely slow Internet connection. I am in CHICAGO! The taxicab driver was doused in an overpowering cologne. He also enjoyed sticking his head out the window and screaming, “AMIGGGGOOOOOS!” at the top of his lungs.
ATA is piloting a snack program. For 5.00 you can buy a snack pack right before the beverage service. I think it is a great idea and have so far purchased 2 snack packs. A few other improvements ATA can make:
* Include a tiny bottle of red wine with the snack pack for no additional charge
* Add an Indian channel to their Inflight Entertainment music lineup
* Equip the chairs with a laptop recharger plug
* Build into the chairs the same technology that was used in those old Magic Finger hotel beds
* Serve Bubble Tea, Ginseng Rush, and Dr. Brown’s Cel Ray soda in addition to the regular beverages
* Have an automatic photo taken of everyone during landing that can then be purchased at the baggage claim, very much like Amusement Parks do with rollercoasters.
* Finally, make the pilots wear codpieces
Time to go to sleep.

I am really glad your site is back up. I enjoy your writing and your outlook and i check it all the time. I hope your travels to Chicago end before winter.That could get old quick.
On a John Popper note . He was spotted standing in front of the County theater a few years ago at a time when he was living in Carversville. He has since moved to the Pacific NW after finding Bucks County’s last two winters not to his taste.
Ah ATA, a.k.a. Survivor Air
