My terminal has gone missing? No, just plan ahead.
Funny
Here's another in a long line of distinguished posts that make you want to scratch your head and, perhaps walk into a different room with some aspirin. But, on the other hand, it's a delight for those who really, really, love airplanes. You'll get the full picture when you watch the video, but…
Thanks for the memories. Although this post is devoted to a well-known and beloved chain of US stores, Sears & Roebuck, the brand was - and still is - remembered almost everywhere. If you needed to buy something, Sears was almost always the first stop: they would inevitably have it. In its…
In the world of aviation, consistency is key - for everyone involved. But, despite all of that, here's a funny / slightly perplexing post about the vagaries and uber-rigid / lax flying terms and conditions that are implemented by airlines, or perhaps by the air authorities. There are valid reasons of course, but…
Who doesn't love potatoes? They're a staple everywhere. They're good for you, plentiful and come in any number of styles and varieties. We love 'em. The National Potato Council (USA) tracks this and while it lags behind a year or two, you can easily follow the per capita potato consumption (currently at 117 pounds…
Like it or not, after decades of scorn and pushback, followed by love and admiration by many, monster trucks are here to stay, and in some of the least likely of places: specifically Asia and Europe, where some of these behemoths can fill up left and right lanes simultaneously. Still, people seem to…
Here's another one of those posts where you get to experience places that you may never see, but should. But this one is very particular, because it focuses on a particular place (in this case, Japan) in a particular city (Nishinomiya) and, amongst other joys, it hosts a delightful little (or should we say…
As much as we love the UK, it does rain a lot. 800 mm to 1,400 mm per year, on average. We guess that this fact should be plainly obvious, especially since the UK is in the North Sea and surrounded by cold, cold water. But one benefit of this arrangement is…
Every day we wake up in the morning and look forward to our "job," which is find fun new things for you to enjoy. Lucky us, as we get to enjoy the content, too. We periodically highlight this "duty," as it gives us great enjoyment, as well. We always do…
If you're the nervous type when you drive, especially around town, this post is mostly not for you. Even if you consider yourself to be Speed Racer, you may want to think twice. And even if you think you're a local when you drive in Europe (in this case, Spain) you'll really want…
We travel a fair amount, on a variety of airlines bound for an even larger variety of locations; some big, some small, some with luxurious airport (and lounges) and some that are bare bones. Every time we travel, we know that we're so fortunate to be able to fly at all; not all…
We happened upon this kind of funny, kind of embarrassing video from the 1950's that we think you might enjoy (or get mildly enraged at) when you watch it. That period in time was really a turning point in the USA. On the negative side (and we say all of this with the…
This post comes with all precautions and disclaimers alerts: What the creators of this video did was most certainly not permitted, nor was it a great idea (although we love the idea) and, to be honest, their kinda innocent take on the whole escapade is kinda endearing, although you might want to discourage any…
Tell me that you've got everything you want, and your car can sing. Another delightful "out of left field" post here, and this one that anyone can enjoy, assuming that you have a car (or any vehicle with tires) and the right road. Having a map or GPS isn't a bad idea, either.…
Here's another (slightly) mild piece about aircraft and the people that use it. Most of us need to dip into our savings if we want to take a holiday. And there are often large gaps between holidays. As they say, "the struggle is real." But some people have it made and…
