My employer used to send me to Alaska several times a year. It was always a two day trip to get there and get home. We’d fly from Sacramento to Anchorage and spend the night before continuing on north the next day. ConocoPhillips had their own check-in counter at the airport just like Delta or American. They flew us up in a 737 to Dead Horse and we’d take the last leg in a little puddle jumper. So, I would go through security twice going up. On the way back, I go through security in Dead Horse, get to Anchorage to be treated to a nice steak dinner thanks to Dresser Rand. The next morning, at security, my laptop bag goes through X-ray once, then again. I was asked to stand aside because they needed to do a hand search of the bag. I’m just standing there waiting when the TSA agent announces, “I found it” while pulling her hand out of my bag holding a 7.62 rifle cartridge. I was fairly shocked. They told me to stand by and the police would be there soon. I told the cops; when they got there, that I had bought a 1,000 round case of ammo and stored all I could in an ammo can and put the rest in a bag in one of the cabinets in my travel trailer. Once, while moving the trailer to a new location, the cabinet opened and spilled the contents of the bag onto the floor. The laptop bag was directly beneath the cabinets and one round must have made it into its pocket. Luckily, the cop was cool and let me go in time to catch my flight. I don’t know if me making it through airport security three times before they found it played into his decision or not.

I was surprised to see Gary Rossington had died in a plane crash, since he was a survivor of the Lynyrd Skynyrd crash. According to various sites: Rossington suffered a heart attack on October 8, 2015, after which two Lynyrd Skynyrd concerts had to be canceled. In July 2021, he underwent emergency heart surgery. Rossington died at his home in Milton, Georgia, on March 5, 2023, at age 71. The cause of his death was not revealed. No mention of a second aircraft accident.

I like toasting the Chinese bao buns in my air fryer. To me, it’s better than when they’re only steamed.

I just found out that John Amos, who played the father on the American sitcom Good Times, is only seven and a half years older than Jimmy Walker, who played his oldest son on the show.

Thinking now, it may also include options like three shoes and a shirt, since I didn’t require a combination of two shoes, a pair of shorts and a top for every possible answer. That requires too much brain power for me, even when using that calculator.

Fifteen different pairs of shoes can have 435 combinations. Adding two different shirts and two different shorts increases the number to 46376. I fed 30 (15 left and 15 right shoes, all differently colored) and two choices into an online calculator for the first answer and 34 items and four choices for the second. https://www.statskingdom.com/combinations-calculator.html

And you may eat all the popcorn that was strung on it.

Just for the hell of it, I searched Lazada for “Xylospongium” and this little guy showed up. The hat seems right but he doesn’t look thrilled about his new job.

Here’s a similar story: A blind guy applies for a job as a lumber inspector at the mill. The boss, obviously confused, exclaims, "How can you grade wood well being blind?" The blind guy retorts back saying he has an excellent sense of smell and to "Try it out." Amused the boss grabs a piece of wood out of pile and hand its to the blind man. The blind man says, "That's a nice chunk of hickory you got." The boss is amazed that he got it right and hands him another piece of wood. The blind man puts his nose near the wood then exclaims, "Yuck, That's a rotten piece of cedar. right here. I wouldn't pass that!" The boss again amazed keeps handing him wood and the blind man keeps guessing correctly. Eventually, the boss tires of the show and brings out his secretary. He whispers in her ear and she drops her pants and puts her front side in front of the blind mans nose. The boss exclaims,"I got one more for you if you'll wager a guess." The blind man gives a whiff and is confused. He asks if he can get the board flipped around. So the secretary turns around sticking her hind end right up close to the blind mans nose. The blind man takes a big whiff and begins to grin. "I see what your doing here", he exclaims, "You're trying to mess with me!" The boss replies,"What do you mean?" The blind guys then says, "Well, that's the shit house door off a tuna boat!"
