Southwest Airlines

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES IS NUMBER ONE IN MY FLIGHT BOOK THIS YEAR!

IT'S ALIVE!  THE "SPIRIT" IN THE SKY IS ALIVE!

As a world traveler, as well as domestic, the price of an airline ticket is no longer affordable and cheap for me.  Although come to think of it, when I was still going back and forth from Chicago to LA in the 80s and 90s, I was being charged as high as $800!  There was even a class-action lawsuit because of airlines price-fixing.  However, I was not able to use the vouchers because of blocked dates for holidays.  Oh, well!

It's my first time to fly Southwest and I was quite surprised how nice it was for me.  How Southwest manage to do this - FREE 2 luggages check-in - while other competitors charge $25 - $50 per luggage?  I don't know.  I love my seat and was comfortable with their wide-bodied plane and the flight attendant was not stingy with snacks.  How about that? I even had my favorite peanuts and Coke in my flight from Chicago Midway to Phoenix and on to Las Vegas.

May the spirit be with you, traveler.

Las Vegas 2012

JUNE 9, 2012  LAS VEGAS HAPPENING - HANGOVER FOREVER

Veni. Vidi. Whoopee!  The other word for Las Vegas is fun.  Unlike my favorite film comedy Hangover II, my hangover with friends were all good and fabulous.  Hangover III will be at the cinema May 24.  I wonder if the monkey will be hanging around.  I think the monkey died?

I'm glad to share this in the world wide web.




It's summertime & cleanup is going on. Be careful where you put your hands. They like dark spaces & woodpiles. Also cool areas in the attic........................................... This guy was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider.

Day 3:

The following illustrates the
progression
of a brown recluse spider bite.
The affected skin actually dies on his body.

Day 5:

Some of the pictures towards the end are pretty nasty, but take a look at the last one -- it is a picture of the spider itself.

Day 6:
The Brown Recluse Spider is the most
dangerous spider that we have here in the USA. Day 9: A person can die from it̢۪s bite. We all should know what the spider looks like.


Day 10:

Send this around to people you love, because it is almost summer time.

People will be digging around, doing yard work, spring cleaning, and sometimes in their attics.


The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider

Please be careful.
Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences.

They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds or attics or other areas that might not be frequented by people or light.

If you have a need to be in your attic, go up there and turn on a light and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS!
