Random thoughts for a Thursday

In case any of you were wondering, the picture in Monday's blog was taken at Chugach State Park, just outside Anchorage. Bet you would never know a city of 250,000 is less than 30 minutes away from that idyllic setting.

I also remember the mosquitoes were swarming. Praise the makers of Off!

It would be great if Phoenix could land this whale. I do have my doubts, though. Not the least of which is Texas pride, which would take quite a blow should Southwest bail on Love Field.

Speaking of that, Congress should repeal the Wright Amendment. It's an unnecessary dinosaur since DFW airport is in no danger of going out of business should normal flights resume from Love. There are no such restrictions on Houston's Hobby airport and the competition has had no negative effect on George Bush Intercontinental.

No doubt many folks are laughing at David Gregory today. However, if he really suffers from an alcohol addiction it should be noted that he is suffering from a disease. It's sad when a public figure's demons are on display for all to see.....
