years before, my flights from kauai to minneapolis landed me in Phoenix... from the air it looked like we were flying over a cat box! and btw nothing has changed about that. lol

it was only May, and they had to cover the plane while we were on the ground, it was so hot. i can see how over 120 they cant take off. maybe the tar gets sticky, too, huh?

@anklebiters - ahh, thermals... I thought maybe the tarmac was too hot for the tires. Thanks.

@opso - no apology necessary. We just missed ya.

@honda si boy - Yeah, back in the day we'd eat in the car. You girl sitting next to you on the bench seat, shoulder to shoulder, Classics IV 8-track tape playing, car smelling of sprig car freshener.
As for the Raiders - I think they need a new owner. The whole club is in disarray. I still say Timmy Chang will one day play for the Raiders. But for now, the best thing to watch in Oakland is the Raiderettes.
