The Big DumpTruck

So I was asked to leave a NorthEast Airlines flight yesterday because my outfit was too revealing. I know that normally I do wear pants, but it was pretty hot yesterday, and plus, I got tar all over them after I finished my shift on the road crew repaving Harvard Street.

I didn't think anyone would mind because I had pulled my shirt down, but the flight attendant, the pilot, two passengers and the guy who wears headphones and holds those red sticks to tell the plan when to stop all asked me to leave the plane and put on something more decent. They did offer to give me a stapler and a pile of luggage tags to see if I could fashion something myself without having to leave the gate area, but I ran out of staples and the little strings on the tags were tickling me.

So I missed my flight, which was going to the Arctic Circle. I'm really bummed, because I was going to try to take some photos. I haven't really added much to my flickr album lately.

Sheesh, this is taking forever! I'll be good, though.

Hey, that book I talk about below? The author really really hates Disney. Like, REALLY hates them. So now I'm sort of on the fence about recommending the book. Okay, I'm still enjoying the book but I think Mr. Anti-Disney ("Too bad that inferno is now burning up the whole Sunshine State" - said in reference to the spark that ignited Disney's theme park flame.)

So the point I'd like to make to the author is that if it weren't for the major attractions in Orlando, most of these roadside oddities would suffer from a large lack of visitors. Instead, people like me planning a trip down to see the mouse will buy his book to look for other places to visit while I'm down there. Do you really think a family from Massachusetts would plan an entire trip to see the Indian River Citrus Museum?
