B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for November 14, 2020

However, you’d not have the leg room of a bird.

Adrenaline! The giant bird sits on the runway powering up their engines. Just at the point that you think the craft is about to raddle apart – they release the brake. Quickly gaining speed… so that you can clear the short runway… then you lift off. Sadly… most times… your next adrenaline rush is – hoping the ground doesn’t come up too quickly and your name ends up the the media.

And you’ll be paying a whole lot of clams for the privilege of doing so.

And they’ll STILL lose your luggage. ;)

The food in flight might not be good. But when you can go from a restaurant on the streets of France. To Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. To a Hawaiian lūʻau. That would make it worth it.

What’s a continent?

Better than what you eat daily and with less dirt in it.

So good as what? I’ve yet to see a real kitchen in B.C. world.

I’m waiting for Elon Musk to invent the “Heisenberg Compensators”, a necessary preliminary step before ‘Star Trek’ type Transporters can ‘beam’ you anywhere instantly.

Which will be fodder for a lot of future comedians…

The food on other continents is usually fine.

I’m listening to Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days and am doing the 7-day train trip across the US. When I was a kid, we’d travel in our trusty station wagon from Albuquerque (NM) to West Boylston (MA) is three 12-hour days. In my 30s, I flew from San Jose (CA) to Worcester (MA) in 6 hours and some minutes. Hang in there, guys! It gets even better . . .now i just put a travelogue on the CD player, and get to wherever in minutes!

what food ? chicago to san fran A paper bag with a bottle of water 1 pkg of cookies 1 pkg of crackers . we had to go 1st Grandchild . so never mind GREAT FooD , great flight

The food when you get there

I enjoyed airline food. Oddly, Air France was the only exception.

The food on airlines used to be pretty good.

Think of what the birds eat.

… wat’s dis ? .. hic .. one day weel be incontinent for hours ? .. hic .. ooookay… hic

The reason is to get to the good food where you’re going.

It beats dying of dysentery on a mountain trail!

I don’t know about that. The chow on Air New Zealand was outstanding. The wine made the flight even better, even though I slept for most of it.

You haven’t lived until you’ve had an Air Force in-flight meal, not.

Well, the arctic tern did change their route to stop in Milwaukee at Usinger’s called a turn for the worst.

I often wonder how they manage to screw up a small bag of pretzels or peanuts.

The food won’t be good and you’ll be stuffed into the belly of the bird with no room to move. Yeah, no.

Most people are in favor of progress, it’s the changes they don’t like.

And within decades, they will stop serving the food, so it doesn’t matter.

And when you’ve been to a bunch of luaus, so that the food isn’t a new experience, try Feast at Lele on Maui. Think of it as a luau with extraordinary food. Owned by the same people who do Old Lahaina Luau, our favorite luau.
