Traveling this week

Today I'm in North Carolina checking into another flying job. This one will be similar to the last one, only with a few other "options". It's not that I don't like my current job, this one I'm checking into offers a little more in the way of pay and advancement. I should be returning to Oklahoma on Friday. I will write an update if anything in my career changes. Otherwise, I will get back to a more regular posting schedule starting next week. Until then. Check ya later.

This and that

So I'm here at the Dallas/Ft Worth International Airport waiting for my aircraft to loaded with freight. I have some time to kill at 2 in the morning. I was thinking about a few things. (1) I hope that the space shuttle makes it back to Earth without trouble. I watched the repair of the underside of the shuttle today on CSPAN. I guess it was live. What a cool way to make a living. I don't care what anyone says, those guys and girls that fly in that thing are extremely brave, especially given that amount of problems that NASA has had lately.

The second thing (2) Iv'e been thinking about is baseball. I'm a huge baseball fan. Despite everything that they do, I love the Colorado Rockies ( yes, I know, worse team in baseball). I'm looking forward to the World Series ( I think that Houston will be in the big game ) . I'm afraid, however, that steriods are going to eat the game alive. I firmly believe that the new steroid rules are decent and just and if you are caught then you should have to pay. And Bud Selig should be forced to resign as commissioner. He was the head man in charge when all this stuff was commonplace, he should have to pay as well.

Okay, I know it's non aviation stuff tonight but that's how it goes. Well my aircraft is loaded and it's time for me to face an impending cold front. Cheers. Go Rockies!
