Everyone enjoy your evening. Cya tomorrow.
Bringing in some of the kids...lazy jerks wont fly home on their own.
Beautiful birds, I've had a couple of parrots out here but nothing like those. There a lot of birds like that in the zoo here though from the Amazon, I am pretty sure it's illegal here to try to bring them into the city. We have a very pretty little parakeet now but I forgot the breed. It has a very complex whistle/call.

Wow, I envy you for getting to take care of such lovely creatures.
Good morning. It’s a new day...
Ahhhhh BITE ME! I've been working all night...
There, that takes care of the "Grumpy" part.

Would grumping about friends who put their lives on the line here in the time of the Thing That's Going Around be a way to improve the trajectory of this Sunday?
Nah.
Nah.

This is air travel done correctly on a SAS flight in the 60s. I always wanted to fly on SAS, I don't know why.
I remember having to wear your best cloths to travel. Everyone got dressed up to respect the journey so others thought you were somewhat refined and dignified. Not like when taking the bus.

The men who wear a track suit for a flight are (in my book) the same men who wear a track suit to their daughter's wedding.

I did. And regretted it almost immediately!
I don't remember which side was which, but SAS' designated smoking section was one whole side of the aircraft; non-smoking the other.
Why f'ing bother???
Avoided them like the plague after that.
And don't get me started on the former (ha) Belgian airline SABENA (Such A Bad Experience Never Again).

Nothing like a long haul on a DC8.
I last flew commercially on 12/25/70. Which may explain my preference for 727's.

My preference is for flights with an equal number of takeoffs and landings.
That too.
I wear shoes by SAS. Does that count?
Only if you can see your toes while wearing them
First airliner I ever rode on looked like this
Last one looked like this
I think the Gooney was more comfy
