Maybe it's me.  There's a bar 15 yards away.   I'm not drinking

The spectrum of airport bars is quite vast.

I discovered this quaint overlook in Kaibab NF north of Jacob Lake, which is the North Rim turnoff. It's the best view of the "Grand Staircase" that you are going to find;  a series of cliffs that are each a different color. Well you can pretty much see all of Southern Utah from that overlook, from Pine Mountain in St George to Navajo mountain out by Lake Powell and everything in between.







It's a perspective you can't get by actually visiting the monument, where you drive across the entire thing and wonder "where in the Hell is this grand staircase?"


Found a cool 35 model of the area. South to the left, and north to the right.

Sitting in the Charlotte airport after a flight on a 737 from Omaha.

Reminds me how much I dislike flying.

After a mile walk to my next gate (which I don't mind) I'll wait over 2 hours for the flight to Walton beach.

Omaha and Charlotte airports tore up for refurbish construction.

Very full of unhappy people
Gonna be cold up there.

I haven't been able to play in about a month. I got a membership Five Iron Golf in downtown Indy. It's fun and is an acceptable substitute but I'd rather be doing the real thing.

I'm not a fan of simulators but they're better than not swinging
