enjoybeing	8:35p	No complimentary beverages So I'm flying on US Airways today and for the first time in my expansive flying experience I heard an announcement that when the beverage cart comes through, flight attendants will have drinks for sale. Not just alcoholic beverages. ALL beverages. Soda and water = $2.00 Coffee and tea = $1.00 Liquor and wine = $7.00 I've experienced the 'food for sale' phenomenon, but was ok with it because at least it was real food, not the same tiny bags of peanuts and pretzels for $3.00. But soda and coffee? I was floored. Especially because during my first leg I didn't know until I was a captive on the plane. And it was also after I checked a bag at the kiosk and was charged a $15 fee - which apparently has been in place since mid-July for US Airways - anytime you check a bag it will cost you $15 for the first, $25 for the second and like $100 for additional... Anyway, I digress... The second leg, now a wiser US Airways traveler, I imported my own Starbucks beverage. Heck, if I'm overpaying for a drink, it might as well be the big S. Are other airlines doing this too? Doing away with complimentary soft drinks, juices, coffee and water? And charging an extra fee for ONE checked bag? I don't think its a good PR move.

enjoybeing	11:53p	Meme fun... The Perception Personality Image Test Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test... HFDS - The Coach Humanity, Foreground, Detail, and Shape You perceive the world with particular attention to humanity. You focus on what's in front of you (the foreground) and how that is affected by the details of life. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on humanity, you tend to seek out other people and get energized by being around others. You like to deal directly with whatever comes your way without dealing with speculating possibilities or outcomes you can't control. You are highly focused on specific goals or tasks and find meaning in life by pursuing those goals. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

enjoybeing	6:22p	A walk in the park (& styrofoam) So I'm walking thru Colt State Park along the water... part of my attempt to get out and be active a little more... And as I'm walking back to the truck I came upon a little girl on the path (her family was at a picnic table not far away). The girl had a piece of styrofoam and was spinning it around in her hands causing the little tiny balls of styrofoam to break loose and fly off in the wind. She was immensely pleased by this and would spin the block around and watch as the bits would fly away. Lather, rinse, repeat. Part of me thought of saying something to her about how that's not good for the environment, but then I thought better of that, since obviously her parents gave her that to play with and who knows what they would think of a stranger giving her the what-for. (Not that I would have been ugly or anything.) (1 Comment |Comment on this)
