Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Physicist: quantum mechanical mixing of the "employed" and "unemployed" states creates a "band gap" within which no jobs exist.

I just went through this red tape for my 96 yr-old mother, because she received an $8.23/mo pension increase. Medicaid stopped paying for PT after breaking both her legs in a fall, yet harasses us over monthly premiums at the “rehab” facility that won’t recommend a discharge. FDT. Vote blue!

Trump called for Iran to bomb Los Angeles & San Diego. A congressional candidate was raped while fixing her campaign signs. The right constantly calls for violence against the left but the mainstream media will call it out. They cared more about Hillary’s emails and Hunter’s laptop.

Kentucky has gone 92 days without a second senator and without a straight answer about why. McConnell collected $43,500 in that stretch, more than the average Kentuckian makes in a year, and his office banked another $893,000 while refusing to say anything.

See the attached photo, alt text, and article below for a valid explanation on why in-flight passenger services and amenities immediately declined when we resumed flying after 9/11. Plastic, or no meal at all, weighed a lot less than heavy ceramics and silver service = less fuel = huge savings.

“In training, instead of learning how to serve caviar without clinking the tiny silver spoon against the plate, flight attendants were taught something new: karate.” - Heather Poole, AA For me, everything became a weapon: metal coffee pots, ball point pens, laptops… www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/...
In her CNN article (undated), Heather Poole of American Airlines explains some of the reasons behind the decline in passenger meals and amenities onboard as a result of fallout from the September 11 attacks on airlines. Public fear gave way to a decline in revenue, resulting in low cost tickets that could not support operations that passengers had been previously accustomed to receiving. That, in turn, saved fuel once meals, magazines, pillow, blankets, and eventually, staff were removed. Realizing these savings, legacy carriers chose to not bring back most items as passengers grew accustomed to lower fares and proved themselves unwilling to pay more. 

Not stated by the author, but true: The status of American aviation has been stagnant or in low public opinion ever since without acknowledging the one hand affects the other.Overwater sunset photo from an airplane window.

The last time I saw Amy Sweeney was at the pub in London. Happy to see her and catch up, I wondered why we hadn’t seen her in a while and learned she’d transferred to BOS. I’ll never forget how contented she looked. Family life was great for Amy. Bless her soul. She was a good one. 🤍 Never forget.
Madeline Amy Sweeney, American Airlines flight attendant who called in to Flight Service operations, informing them Flight 11 had been hijacked. Her bravery and calm headedness, along with Betty Ong, helped to identify our attackers. RIP Amy.

🌱 #insectThursday I had such a wonderful time at Wisley with special friends yesterday. They allowed me to drag them all over the Garden (almost 10 000 steps) and show them special bits. We spotted this Tigridia in the Exotic Garden and then realised it had a critter nestled on one of the petals.
