Came into Barcelona from Amsterdam yesterday. Security in Amsterdam was medium, I'd say. Not as tight as the US by any stretch. What I found odd is that when we landed in Barcelona, we went to get our bags and walked right out the door. No customs, no nothing. I wonder if they have separate areas for people arriving from places like the US or UK or whatever versus arriving from Saudi?



I was really surprised that we had to go through nothing. Not even a f'ing stamp on my passport this time.

Your flight from Schiphol is entirely within the Schengen zone, so it's treated as a domestic flight. Arrivals into Barcelona from anywhere outside the zone still have to go through customs.

Yup, any flight inside the Zone is "domestic".  Anyone residing outside the Zone had already been stamped and checked.

They check you when departing to ensure you did not overstay your "visa".

I'm hoping they'll have self-driving technology available [and not CRAZY expensive] by the time I need to replace my Flex.

It is not far off.  The Cadillac CT6 has Level 3 as an option already.
https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/02/the-cadillac-ct6-review-super-cruise-is-a-game-changer/
"But with almost 900 miles of Super Cruising under my belt now, I am glad to report that boldness paid off. This system really is that good. As long as its operational conditions are satisfied, Super Cruise will enable the CT6 to accelerate, brake, and steer without any need for you to touch the pedals or steering wheel. This can happen for hours at a time."
My little GTI will drive itself on a freeway for about 20 seconds and then it beeps and tells me to put my hands back on the wheel.
A kind of neat thing about electric cars is they can be set to brake as soon as you lift off the accelerator.  So, you almost never need to touch the brakes except in an urgent stopping situation.

I hate how inevitable traffic deaths will delay self-driving cars.  

With people driving now, tons and tons of people die.
With self-driving cars, there will be at least a 90% decrease in these deaths.

But because there's no PERSON to blame when it happens, there is an outcry.  We're such primates.

there's still a corporation to be blamed, so the lawyers will still get paid.  What's the problem?

Yeah I posted that elsewhere.  
Also learned all 3 losing on the same individual weekend has only happened 3 times, so yeah.

I remember when those three ruled college football, where the darlings of ESPN, and it was never going to change because of the recruiting advantages in the sunshine state.

Then it changed to the SEC West

I had a 1973 Nova with a 350 in it.  Changing the 6 and 8 plugs was a bear.  Those cars were not very well designed for the home mechanic.

I always wanted to "hot rod" it with headers and a higher lift cam and a larger CFM carb but never did.  That engine had a lot of potential unused, I think it had 185 stock hp, from 5.7 L.  
One of my best friends had a '72  Nova with a  350 in it, this was early/mid 90s.  It was a 3 speed stick.  That's what I learned to drive stick on.  My goodness, that was fun.   That clutch was high.

I learned to drive standard whilst stealing my best friend's Jeep CJ-5 regularly at lunch in high school.  On those old late 70s Jeeps, you could remove the key from the ignition without it being "locked" which was an extra key position.  He almost always forgot to lock his ignition, and so I could just jump in, turn the ignition without a key in it, and drive off.

I usually returned it right where I found it, but occasionally put it all the way across the parking lot, or even parked up on one of the "islands" that had grass and trees.  I thought it was hilarious but he was not quite so amused.

If all FL recruits had to attend Florida schools, you'd have 5 FL teams in the top 25 every year.

This explains why we got the third-degree when transferring from Rome to Brussels last year for our flight home. Man, that was horrible.
