I am blessed..

Finally got a job today, 21 resumes later and I am going to be working for half the money I was making. I feel like a new man................older still.

WoW

It has been a long time, I really can't remember, when times have been this bad. Any closer to the bottom the only way will be up. And no one is to blame. That's what I have a problem with. And we the taxpayers are left holding the bag wondering 'what the fuck did I do?' And one other question, what is a spa treatment?

I just flew with a guy who overheard this conversation on the VHF Guard

(emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai.

It's too good not to pass along.

The conversation went something like this...

Air Defense Radar:

'Unknown aircraft at (location unknown), you are in Iranian airspace.

Identify yourself.'

Aircraft:

'This is a United States aircraft.

I am in Iraqi airspace.'

Air Defense Radar:

'You are in Iranian airspace.

If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'

Aircraft:

'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter.

Send 'em up,

I'll wait!'

Air Defense Radar:

(no response ... Total silence)
