1. Particularly since I'm under the flight path.
What was that on the roof this morning? Hell of a big squirrel.

9. The runway at Botany Bay airport is built on a fucking SAND BAR!
About half of it extends into the bay.

4. I flew 100,000 miles in the last year...
Pilots and Air Control have done a spectacular job so far. Have you ever driven a car in South Florida? Now that will make you pee your pants.

8. What freaks me out is that it isn't the teens that are the worst offenders - it is people my age
I'm almost 48. People my age are TERRIBLE about DWY offenses.
