    Pet Peeves

    I have Chase with a free account but yes the bank fees are getting ridiculous. could go into why but that is spin zone material. you did remind me of a small thing I stare at when the USAA Insurance ads come on. that little girls giant front teeth.

    Pet Peeves

    not joking. BoA basically made sure i would never bank with them after they screwed over a friend of mine. they took over two weeks to process his paycheck he deposited. in fact his NEXT paycheck cleared before it did. i'd still like the option of an 'express lane' ATM that does cash only...

    Are vision improvement supplements advertised in flying magazines useful?

    my aunt has been taking Ocutvie from Bausch & Lomb. says its helped her vision and she doesn't need her glasses when doing up close work anymore. i have no idea what her prescription or eyesight is like though and it could be just her imagination.

    Unmanned commercial airliners

    here's a thought for everyone. remember that UAV that Iran supposedly hijacked and put on the ground in their country using computers? whats to stop terrorists, or anyone else for that matter, from doing the same with a fully loaded airliner? far easier than trying to sneak aboard with...

    I love my buyer's agent

    I suppose that is true if they're in a poor place for you to visit and see in your time off from work. personally, if i ever get to fly and own a plane of my own, i will have a buyers agent or someone similar in addition to the information from places like this message board to help me not...

    Pet Peeves

    full service ATMs. huge pet peeve is these things. if you have more than one check to deposit take yourself inside the bank. the banks need to introduce 'express atms' in the US. you can withdraw cash only, you can't transfer funds or make deposits at them.

    I love my buyer's agent

    bit like house shopping isn't it? sure there are plenty of places you can look for yourself but there also realtors and similar out there who find houses for people every single day. they may even have contacts with people who are looking to sell but just not advertising it for whatever...

    So, my home airport...

    i suspect a PR disaster would occur if the tower did go away. remember the sleeping ATC guys a year or so ago? not that most passengers would have a clue if the airport they land at was controlled or not though.

    TV Show The Aviators

    the info they provide to the cable and satellite companies is confusing as well. for example, The Aviators here in Fort Wayne was on this last Sunday (2/5) but it was a 2 hour episode according to PBS. it was the Season 2 opening episode, I'm pretty sure its just 30 minutes with the other PBS...

    TSA agent steals $5k cash from passenger

    i may be wrong, but haven't most of the attempted attacks that resulted in TSA changing rules originated from overseas flights? the Underwear and Shoe guys were. the liquid bomber threat one was talked about by British Security. so clearly we need to just quit letting people fly here from...

    TSA agent steals $5k cash from passenger

    from my understanding the TSA and its agents have no policing authority. if they wish to detain you then they need an actual police officer to do it. they're glorified mall security guards, though that may be insulting to mall security guards everywhere. which begs the question, if they can't...

    Little Ice Age Caused by Volcanic Eruptions

    i believe that an ice age isn't over until there IS no ice left. weren't any ice caps at all during the times the Dinosaurs roamed the Earth. of course, all this shows we really are still not sure exactly how the planet we live on works.

    TV Show The Aviators

    I love the show, and am another who wishes it was an hour or even more per week. I'm not a pilot but I very much aspire to be and the show certainly keeps the want to learn high.

    Things named after politicians

    The building didn't get named after HW Baals. Mayor Henry vetoed the Public vote and went with Citizens Square. Henry and our previous Mayor were pretty good about ignoring the public.

    Freezing Rain this weekend- upcoming flight

    i would imagine that some of them there fancy tarps they sell at Lowes, Home Depot or any other hard ware store would do the same job. assuming you find ones that wouldn't scratch the paint up. Lowes has some by a company called Homax, you may need a few they're 7'x5' but it says they have a...
