I've been thinking of using a service like NetJet. I just can't stand the cattle lines anymore at the airport.
Get Precheck and breeze right by the unwashed masses. :)

I got to use a friend's Learjet to fly to Toronto a few years back and I got spoiled.  :blush:

I should, despite my wonky knee that I now know the doctors haven't got a clue about.

This is always fun.  Last time I talked to some docs about my knee, one said "Your ACL might not be intact!" and the other just had no opinion at all. 

Thanks, guys.

I had issues with one of my knees, 'gritty bits' moving around in it, stiffness and odd creaks; turns out a few 10,000s miles of cycling sorted all of that out.  :)


edit:

For balance I should say, I just have loud clicks when I move up and down or stretch my knees, I think it's just the tendon snapping around the joints.

Quote from: Ideologue on March 14, 2015, 07:49:37 PMIf enough people wrinkle their noses, the market for damaging activities will dry up and even those who will still wish to participate in that market will become ashamed.

Admiral Yi and garbon wringing hands over carbon footprints, and now you are advocating private action in the free market over state intervention.

So many of my assumptions are getting demolished in this thread.

Every time I try to ride a bike for any sort of distance, that knee gets all shitty (swelling, stiffness, sore, etc).  Something about the motion I guess.  Seems like running would be worse, with the impact and all, but that just makes it hurt and nothing else. vOv

For some reason, I've been receiving a subscription of Architectural Digest since the beginning of the year.  Which I find not only mystifying as I have no reason why I'm receiving it, but I also find it incredibly insulting.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
