See me naked, frisk me, big deal, the more they do the better I like it.
Yes, from one you flies frequently, go ahead run me through that full bodied scanner. Do it a couple of times if you want to. I'm sure that the person on the other end of that scanner by this time has seen so many "semi naked outlines" that mine does not excite them. If it does I would actually be flattered. As far as the pat down goes, I have gone through that many times before also. Big deal. Just so long as they don't stick their hand or finger in any orifices on my body, I'm ok with it. I say this because as a frequent flyer I put myself in the shoes of all those people on the three flights on 2000/09/11. What would I do? Would I have the guts to challenge hijackers knowing it was certain death. Its a scary thought, but flying often I have a tendency to look around at my fellow passengers and say "what if". This scares me more than the plane having engine trouble or experiencing bad weather. Bottom line is I don't want someone on the plane with me that has a bomb, or a knife or a gun or a box cutter. If I have to give up a little privacy for that than so be it. I'm not giving up my liberty because I have the right to opt for another form of transportation if I don't like it. Therefore this media frenzy about this is just another episode of people trying to control the discussion in this country for partisan purposes. In my opinion these people need to get over it. The first time someone sneaks a bomb onto a plane because the TSA has cowered in the face to this onslaught, it will a victory for our enemies and a real loss for our country and our liberty.

Sunday Morning Visitor
This is one of my friends who stop by each morning to say hello. This morning he/she? needed to be hosed down a little. Started drinking water from the hose and rolled over on his back with his arms crossed over his chest for a belly scratch.

Back on the Boat
Back on the boat in Port Canaveral this morning after Albuquerque and NYC. Was awakened this morning at about 7:30 with a fish feeding frenzy underneath my boat. Must have been some really big Jack or Snook down there chasing mullet as you would not have believed the thumping and splashing going on right under my bed. Beautiful day here now, about 75 already. Back in shorts, teeshirt and flip flops and loving it.

"Rubber Soul, all Beatles all the time" at the Starving Artist Cafe, City Island, NY
The Starving Artist Cafe is a unique venue on City Island, In the Bronx. I lived on City Island from 2004-2006 and became a fan of the Starving Artist and friend of the Glicks. Tonight China and I trained and bussed over to City Island to enjoy Rubber Soul, an all Beatles group. Had a great time and many thanks for Monica for Squeezing us in. Here is a little taste of Rubber Soul captured on my Iphone.
