    To anyone who has watched “The Battle for Milkquarious”, is it really any good?

    Is Milkquarious when we achieve peace and harmony when we’re all drinking chocolate shakes?

    What is the point with Sinatras flights? I mean, in the context of “believe it or not”?

    Sucrology is the science of sugar, not the collecting of bags and cartons containing sugar. This might be called a mania, but surely not a logia (-logy), so we might call this hobby e.g. Sucrothekomania or Saccharothekomania, if we want to be scientific.

    Lotta time/detail to add to this unless he had a pilot to take care of the plane.

    During the contract era of Hollywood, it was typically specified that performers could not be farther than 90 miles away from the studio. Hence, Palm Springs began life as a get-away destination.

    The Sinatra one is a definite believe-it. A buddy and I flew from Cleveland Hopkins Airport to Akron-Canton Airport just because we could. It is a shorter flight than Mr. Sinatra’s.

    President Kennedy flew from Fort Worth to Dallas. A distance of about 30 miles. Flight time was 13 minutes. It was on the day he died. Maybe if they had took the trip in the motorcade it would have altered the time line enough to avoid his fate. But who knows?

    There’s a regularly scheduled flight from the island of Mo’orea to the main island of Tahiti – takes 5 minutes – the ferry takes 40 minutes, largely due to dealing with tidal currents.

    My father was a FAA inspector in the ‘60s. While doing a flight check on Frank’s plane he was invited (along with my Mom) to a Palm springs party. Mom wasn’t a big fan, but she was very impressed with Frank’s gentlemanly demeanor.

    I thought that collecting sugar packets just meant that you were Poor. (or cheap) Also applies to Mustard, Ketchup, Salt, Pepper, Creamer, Napkins, and Plastic Cutlery.
