I've lived in four different states or territories and traveled to a few others.

However, as I don't like flying and get sea sick, I'll have to wait until they build a bridge to anywhere else.

Might be easier and cheaper to opt for a tunnel. 

The flying has just gotten worse.......what with the post 9/11 garbage........and the shrinking of the seating. (Or maybe the growth of me)

govt should defund the airlines.  let them earn the money themselves.  maybe they wouldnt be such creeps

No thanks... I'll take my chances on a bridge, but I'm not keen on the idea of a tunnel.

I've only ever been up in a light plane... twice. And I regretted both experiences.

PS - And what's wrong with vegemite?!

When I went shopping this morning, I bought my next year's supply... one jar. 

I didn't mind the ride in one of those little Buddy Holly aeroplanes.    The jetliners are cramped and uncomfortable for +6-footers.

Nothing is wrong........but maybe I could interest you in a nice jar of primo Apple Butter instead? Love it on waffles.

The Patriot Act, TSA and Homeland Security should all be eliminated.......years ago

............but even after Closing?

Woman killed, 2 cops hurt in Chicago-area drive-thru clash
The Associated Press   July 28, 2021 03:14 AM
DOLTON, Ill.

Two suburban Chicago police officers were seriously injured and a 19-year-old woman died after one of the officers shot her early Tuesday as she drove away from a restaurant following a disturbance and crashed into a nearby business, police said.

Police in Dolton were called to a restaurant at about 1 a.m. by employees who said a female driver with a gun was angry that the restaurant's drive-thru was closed, village spokesman Sean Howard said.

“She wanted service, even though they were closed. ... She appeared to be very upset that she couldn’t receive service," even though the restaurant had been closed for about 30 minutes, he said.

When officers arrived, Howard said the woman and a male passenger were asked to get out of the car. The passenger complied, but the woman began driving away while one of the officers was reaching inside the car to get the keys, Howard said.

“He was halfway in the vehicle trying to remove her. That’s when she took off," he said.

The other officer fired his gun at least three times, striking the woman, whose car ran him over while the other officer was dragged by it. The vehicle struck a squad car and crashed into a nearby bike shop about a block away, heavily damaging the shop's front entrance, Howard said.

The woman died at the scene and the two officers were hospitalized in serious condition. Howard said the officer who was dragged from the restaurant to the shop was “in very, very serious” condition, while the other officer's condition had improved.

The Illinois State Police are investigating and the medical examiner’s office will confirm the woman’s identity and determine her cause of death, Howard said.

State police said in a statement later Tuesday that the woman was 19 and her last known address was in the nearby village of Homewood.

Police bodycam video of the incident and surveillance video from the restaurant has been turned over to state police for their investigation, he said.

so they had the guy..and knew who the woman was.  so they could go and arrest her at any time.  yet they fire their guns and cause a bunch of crap.  those cops were dopes.  nothing about that situation required firing weapons.   thats why cops shouldnt be issued sidearms.  is a cop carries and uses a sidearm  they should be treated as any other citizen who did the same.  issue a shotgun only. when they walk up to a car carrying a shotgun, the perp might be more inclined to listed
