Kat in Chicago:

I don't mind LaGuardia for the most part, but I will not fly out of there in the evening again. After a series of delays, American canceled one of my flights right before midnight. I rebooked for an AM flight but we weren't allowed to stay in the secure area and weren't given hotel vouchers, so I spent the night in the food court. It is not a quiet or comfortable place.

9/11 happened because a few people had boxcutters. They could be plastic...TSA is one of Harry Shearer's many fave things to examine factually w/ great irony on 'Le Show'...maybe it's prevented stuff & we don't know...

well, technically, glass can qualify as a liquid. It just might take a century for gravity for anyone to notice.

...I took the Greyhound all the way across the USA diagonally. I'd suffer anything to avoid that again...I'd like to do the Train just once - but not cheap I'm told...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:22pm
Kat in Chicago:

I doubt it has prevented much, RRNov63. It's security theater. I do get spared some of it as I'm apparently considered not much of a risk (white, older, female) and am generally gifted with a Precheck logo on my boarding pass.

When my car was in the shop when I was 19, I took a Greyhound from Gainesville to Tampa. What is usually a 2.5 hour drive, ended up being almost 6 hours.

@chresti that's an option if time allows for a post office trip. They're heavy and need some care in packaging, though.

The state of Airlines & Transpo & how they've changed make for a useful metaphor for our infrastructure & quality of life in society & what & why &tc. ...In itself - I've flown very little - & still find it a good cure for Atheism - in both the positive & negative senses...

I sleep on flights by barely sleeping beforehand, have a few drinks at the airports, a shot once aloft, and I sleep well, it works for all but trans-Pacific flights. However, since I always get a window seat, I'm always curious about the geography if the sky is clear, then I can't sleep. I used to make my wife look up our flight's position, and I would tell her where we were by looking out the window.

Here in North New England - they always say there's not enuff money for decent trains or even buslines
...but that's a lie. The truth is the whole point of being here North of Northeast of Nowhere is to be away from Civilization...

what do they swab records with? if it's an alcohol base i'd say pay for the record then you may swab it; and by the way Fuck you! if you'd like to clean it for me Thank you. please use distilled h2o with a little photoflo added.

the automobile industry helped do away with public transit

Worst TSA situation, I got a large toolbox for xmas, and I forgot to put it in my luggage, and I was running late, so I had to surrender it. Second (non-TSA) related incident, I had two identical carry-on luggages, one w/ my clothes, etc, and the other w/ mezcales, y salsas picantes. They were identical, and I mixed them up. The security in Mexico City confiscated all of my yummy mezcales y salsas. estaba muy triste ese dia.

The federal gov't approved a bullet train for FL, but gov. skeletor scott decided not to take the money, b/c, fuck us, that's why. Counties in central FL have still somehow build a light rail system around Orlando. apparently, GOPers hate mass transit.

chresti i wash them using my ancient "discwasher" brush, on the turntable. i ran out of fluid many years ago and since rca (?) bought discwasher it's crap so i made my own. a pint of distilled water with a few drops of "photoflo" in it.

that's discwasher @chresti. I still have one of those but need fluid for it. might try coel's formula.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:56pm

most record cleaners are bullshit. detrimental crap that at very best won't clean your records. when discwasher, which was the best cleaner available, sold out, the new one looked similar but left lint on the records. that's probably still available.

yeah I have some of the new one @coel but it doesn't seem especially effective.

Kat in Chicago:

why the photoflo?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm

Kat, it's a shame. good product and they had to mess with it.
the photoflo (as with film) helps to keep dusty and lint from sticking. makes it slippery.
