Hey kids, sitting in the Charlotte airport getting ready to catch a connecting flight to Asheville, where I’m hanging out this weekend. I’ll be posting scores when I get into Asheville. One thing I kind of like about the Charlotte airport: there are rocking chairs everywhere. For some reason that seems really cool.
They just announced that maintenance is on board the aircraft and that we may have to wait a few minutes before we board. Then I heard a few people moaning, which totally blows my doors. I mean, would they rather the maintenance people not fix whatever it is that’s wrong so we could take our chances in a faulty aircraft? When a wing blows off at 30,000 feet, are they gonna say, “Yeah, it sucks, but at least we boarded on time.” I just don’t understand people sometimes. Alright, well I’m off. Talk to ya soon.
That reminds me of flying out of Dallas to Hawaii when we were told that they needed to make sure a cargo door was not really open before we took off as there was a light indicating a problem. An agitated voice from a few rows back said 'Who cares.. let's just go' and I wondered if he really was familiar with the concept of flight and oceans and such.
I like the Budweiser bar in Charlotte. Don't pay the extra money for the audio tour if you go to the Biltmore. I also recommed Barley's for a meal in Ashville. Great beer selection and really good pizza.
