up, up, and aw-- ... choo, choo ....

i ran across some interesting things this week --

apparently the airlines are planning on doing away with first-class. hmmm .... that will pretty much put the kabosh on any flying that i do. after our trip in august, which we took first-class for the first time, i decided that was the only way to go. the rest of it is just a cattle call or a chicken farm.

it's too bad greed has become such a pervasive part of our lives in this country. i can remember when things were built to last and companies took pride in delivering excellent service. but now ... not so much.

so if first class goes, i won't. it will be the train or the car for a leisurely trip.
