Here at Pennsylvania.
...Asked for a Taxi and was sent a Limo, and at no extra charge. To bad the ride wasn't any longer than 6 minutes...
...The line through TSA security extended not only through the whole of Oakland Airport, but busted out the doors, down the sidewalk, and nearly to the end of the Airports walkway! The new grand remodel of Oakland International and its roadways are quite impressive, BTW. Like a mini Madrid International, only Madrid International was soo big, when you got off the freeway and got onto the Airport on-ramp, the on-ramp is 8 frickin miles long! Also, Madrid Internationale Aeropuerto is as big as the city of San Francisco.
...Out flight out was on-time. Got into Midway in Chicago. Major turbulence over the Rockies. Landing through the storm was like a 20 minute roller coaster ride. When we touched down and slammed on the brakes (Midway has short landing strips), the entire plane burst into thankful applause...
...Our flight to Philly was delayed for 2 hours. Ate crappy Chinese at a food court. Spoke to a older couple originally flying out of Cleveland. Told them about my buddy, the Discourser and his family, and their fondness of Cleveland, and they responded "Cleveland sucks, We want to move away from that city as quickly as possible". I was shocked at their bluntness...
...Read an article about the some 60,000,000 children in just India who, for mostly out of fiscal desperation, work in all manner of industry, for next to nothing and for nearly 12 hours a day and 6 to 7 days a week. I will repeat SIXTY MILLION in just ONE country. In New Delhi alone, the number of child welfare cases approach FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND...yes, 500,000 cases...and get this: I work with social workers who would picket and strike with violent outrage if they were told to increase their case-loads to 100...and to tell you the truth, I would support it! In New Delhi, they have a staff of FIFTY...yes, "5"and"0". To say they are woefully understaffed is not mere understatement, but commically and morally outrageous! Each case-worker carries a caseload of 5,000! When interviewed and asked WHY they do the work, they responded "Because we must". My God, these people are Saints...
