Minneapolis Rotary Club

And now a quick slide show from my vacation to Minneapolis. 

First stop the Minneapolis Rotary Club. Awe Snap! that darn thins is upside down.

Turn your head a little. It actually a very nice banner. They are very nice people there doing good things. 

Pictured below is Barbie and Kelley. They have regular jobs when they are not modeling. Barbie does something with string theory and Kelley is a brain surgeon/lawyer. I found them very stimulating mentally. It's nice to meet people that you can have a conversation with about something besides American Idol.
After the meeting Barbie, Kelley and I got got really drunk and agreed to never speak about what happened that night ever again. I put in a clause to blog about it though.
This is the park where I woke up. I don't think that is my barf by the refuse canister. It is definitely not my barf, because no matter how drunk I get, I would never eat corn and peanuts in one sitting.

What the Hey?

I must have made a wrong turn somewhere. I'm turn around now. I should be home 15 minutes late.

Denver

It is sometimes tough for me to get the flights I want. I'm getting closer to home though. Today I ended up in Denver. Here is a picture in the airport. It's hard to tell but those are birds hanging out over one of the moving walkways.

This is a picture of the desolate waste land that they built this airport on. Local legend says the Denver airport is built on an ancient penguin burial ground. That gives me the oinking monkeys just  thinking about it.

Anyway, I had a beer and went out to find some old relatives. Nothing yet, just a really old cup some dude's wallet "James Hoffa" I think, and a big flying disk.

Dallas

I'm totally in Dallas!

Y'all gotta know that Dallas is full of very nice people who love a party. I stayed at the Sharaton Dallas last week and it was a blast. Went to see Dealy Plaza where Kennedy was shot and took a tour of the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

These bar friends kept me in stitches all night.

Right behind me is Joe Bob clockwise from Joe Bob's right is Billy Bob in the hat, Jim Bob, Girl Jo Bob, just Bob, Bobbi Jo in the scarf, Molly Jo and Mike in pink.

Airport Trivia

10.  AMERICAN AIRLINES saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad       served in first class.

9.   The abbreviation ORD for Chicago's O'Hare airport comes from the old name "Orchard Field."

8.   Apparently Delta Air Lines spends $8 million a year on wine alone.

7.  BRITISH AIRWAYS passengers consume  40.5 tons of Chicken in 1 year.

6.  I eat twice that in squid alone.

5.  Penguins fly for free on most airlines, although they always loose my luggage.

4.  Dean Martin was in a movie called Airport in 1970. They made a sequel in 1975 called Airport 75 followed by Airport 77 in 1977 and Airport 79 in 1979.  There is a pattern if you look hard enough.

3. The Mile High club currently boasts 17 members. They also indicate that most people lie about being members, because you have to pay dues to belong. On a personal note, I have been a member since  2000.

2.  The Taiwan airport has excellent squid.

1.  The personal spaceship/hovercraft will make airports into the bus stations of the future.

Airbourne for Oscar Night

So I missed the Oscars last night because I was on a plane. I did get to see an episode of The Office.

Tiny Tornado

I'm at the Museum of Natural Disasters. Check out the tiny tornado pictured here looking for a really small trailer park.
