You see, this is what happens when you make the decision to go whole hog into the psycho Southern church thing to score young pussy, Ed.  You go in, but you don't know how deep you're going.

Sure, you think you can handle meeting the family and going to services.  Gotta impress the Moms, you know.

You even manage to convince yourself that, hey, snake handling's not all that big of a deal, and it's not even poisonous, I can tell by the shape of the head.

So you score yourself your childbride, and before you know it you wind up a fucking David Koresh, up to your ass in converted upper receivers, inert grenades and too many children of the fucking corn freaky twins.

Enjoy your apocalypse.

Now tell me you wouldn't change places with him Seedy. :contract:

Fantastic place;  definitely try the frank and beans lunch sometime, which is literally a large frank under a plate of baked beans.

Admin booked my flights today.  I have seven hours between the time I'm done in SB and my first flight takes off.  Guess I gotta find something to do. :hmm:

My flight back is SB -> Phoenix -> Charlotte -> Louisville. :bleeding:

I shoulda just flown out of Cincinnati. :rolleyes:

I'll probably be leaving on a Saturday, but most likely in the early morning.

*double checks estimated driving time*

4 hour trip is probably a bit of a reach to manage a Friday night dinner.

Hmm, if it's Friday the 7th turns out we will have the day off, as us federal slackers get a 4-day weekend for Columbus day.

So if I don't get dragged to Vegas by friends, this idea is more viable.

The IT Director is going too, and he booked a flight to LAX and is gonna drive there and back.  I should have done this, and would have arranged my plans to correlate with his.  I knew he was going so I dunno why I didn't think to do this. :hmm:

Good Lord. 

What are the chances your baggage makes it to Loouhville?

Caliga

Based on prior experiences? 0%.  But that'll be going home, so I should be ok waiting a few days for it to show up.

The second week of October, I'll definitely be in Santa Barbara for three days and I may swing down to the office in Newport Beach for the other two... not sure yet.

I'll be pretty busy but should have some downtime.  Anything interesting to do in either of these places?

The marina in Newport Beach is worth a visit if you happen to like yachts.  Santa Monica has the pier, which is worthwhile.

Incidentally I'm flying back from Sacto to Cedar Rapids via Houston, which seems pretty bass ackward to me.

I'll eventually get down there (not going this trip) and our office in Newport Beach is right by the marina.

That was where we always docked before a Transpac.  Good friend of my grandfather had a house right on the water in Newport.
