Retarded in Canada

Why is Canada Retarded? My flights from Toronto are often retarded. Now I find that in Motreal there’s a whole store for Couch Tards. What up with that? What up with the politically incorrect language?

Bonus Plane

Our flight from ORD to DEN was cancelled. They let us know we could fly tomorrow on a ORD-LAX-OAK flight and get in either on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning or something. I probably could have made my OAK-YYZ flight… But we got lucky - on flight 11 originally from JFK to SFO somebody’s leg exploded, clots or something; apparently there was blood everywhere so they had to land. Then they couldn’t clean all the blood up so they had to find another airplane. For reasons we don’t understand this plane is now going to DEN. Instead of arriving in SFO at 2:30 they’ll be getting in around midnight.

Our 747

Our 747 relected in the glass of the gates at FRA.

It looked a lot cooler in real life….  747s are big….

Heading Home

After a lovely visit to Italy, Austria, and Germany. The upstairs of a 747 feels like a private plane but with more comfortable toilets, a bigger kitchen, and a bunch of boring old men (as a rule).
