Default $5.64 for a gallon of "Chateau de AvGas"

$5+ for a gallon of gas doesn't seem so bad... to me anyway.


Right after that first JetBlue thing happened in February my wife and I went
to New Orleans. Can't remember which airline, but they had a problem at the
gate such that it took them longer to hook the jetway up to the airplane
than it took to fly the airplane from Houston.

At one point the pilot came on and said "Sorry this is taking so long. It's
pretty complicated equipment." Naturally, sarcasm was practically dripping
out of the speakers. I'm sure he was as angry about it as everybody else in
the plane.

The golden age of transporation will return when we figure out cheaper
source of powerplant energy.
