| Midway airport, Chicago OAFS Photo |
As they live near Fresno, that's where we flew to, no airline has a hub anywhere near Fresno, so getting there is a bit of a chore. Like first fly to Midway, the airport near Chicago not the island in the Pacific, then to Sandy Eggo, then, finally, to Fresno. Approximately eight hours in the air and another six hours on the ground, hanging out, waiting for the next flight.
So it was a rather long day. it was the first time I'd been back to Sandy Eggo in three (ish) years and the terminal we were in was new, it had been under construction the last time I was here. So it was good to be back, but it was different. But hey, it was just the terminal. We were only on the ground for three hours. Long enough to stretch our legs and get something to eat,
Holy sh!t, $25 for a cheeseburger and fries???
We ate something else, some Mediterranean kebob thing, which wasn't bad. Still expensive ($20) but not as expensive. Healthier as well, I actually ate a salad. (No, that doesn't normally happen when I eat at an airport.)
Anyhoo, I'm out here for a few days and juvat is in France. So, we'll see how things go. And from this sign I saw in the airport restroom (one over each urinal) ...
... California appears to be doomed.
That spinning noise you hear?
Darwin in his grave.
Ciao!
A perfect summary of what is wrong with California these days! Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day in Lyon today. Boat sails tomorrow.
Did you folks know that French cooking is pretty good?
It's not!
No! It's VERY good. I may not come home.
Sitting here communicating with my friends from the veranda of our room, having done a downtown tour of Lyon. Yes, Tuna, wine was involved. This is WINE country, doncha' know!

I never saw one of those first communion deals. I did go to a Catholic wedding once. My sense of humor got me banned from family events for a while. My brother's brand new father in law nearly stroked out five different times.... oops..... The "thank you for this awesome bbq" at the reception after huffing helium from a balloon just got a huff and he stalked off. The mother in law was hooting and laughing... misread the audience.... Enjoy your visit!!
