Thursday Night Mini Thoughts

It’s a special Thursday MORNING edition of my weekly ‘Mini Thoughts’:

– Later today I fly out from MIA to DFW.
– I like to arrive al aeropuerto a good two hours in advance of my flight.
– That’s gives me 90 minutes from terminal entrance to aircraft entrance.
– Check-in and security usually consumes 30 out of those 90 minutes.
– That leaves me with a full hour to relax before I board.
– Oh yeah – and to take my Dramamine.
– Without Dramamine I would get air sick.
– I don’t fly without it because I know what the consequences are.
– I love to stare out my window into the open skies at 37,500 feet.
– It’s outrageously cold out there – colder than minus 40 degrees !
– Meanwhile it’s at least 110 degrees warmer inside the cabin.
– The cabin pressure is the same as that of a 10,000 foot mountain top.
– I’ve never been that high in my life.
– I can only experience it on an aircraft at 37,500 feet.
– Hazy, Hot, & Humid conditions await me in Dallas Texas.
– I won’t see any rain there at all …
– … Unless something happens like what happened last Thursday.
– That’s when DFW was pretty much shut down because of freak weather.
– My brother and his wife and I will be eating at Brio tonight.
– I’ve never been there before.
– It’s a tradition to eat an ENORMOUS Dinner upon my arrival in Texas.
– Everything is BIGGER in Texas.
– I enjoy being a tourist in Texas.
– I don’t wish to live there though.
– I can’t live that far away from the Atlantic Ocean.
– Or the Eastern Time Zone for that matter.
– The blogging shall continue from Texas this weekend.
– TOMORROW I’ve got your ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’.
– Someone will win the ‘Major Bloggie Award’ for this week.
– It’s not too late to post a blog for consideration.
– Go forth and enjoy this day that awaits you.

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

The Tuesday night tradition turns 20-months-old this week:

1.  We here in America’s Riviera have once again made International news headlines for all of the wrong reasons. The mutilations / murders of 19 cats in and around Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay by the so-called serial cat killer is being talked about all the way around the world. The accused 18-year-old murderer has posted bail earlier today set at $249,000.

2.  This is the video that was seen all the way around the world of the bear that was shot with a tranquilizer gun up in a tree, fell to a trampoline below, bounced off of it too high, and then missed the trampoline on the second fall.

3.  My Mom and my Brother may fly to Chicago soon to appear on an episode of Judge Jeanine Pirro (yet another daily syndicated TV court show). My Mom is the Plaintiff in a case that I can’t discuss any further. Judge J.P. is seen locally weekday afternoons at 3 PM on WSFL-TV (CW).

4.  Take away the word ‘like’ from the vocabulary of a typical kid, teenager, and twentysomething – and like … he or she would like … be like … speechless. I’m just sayin’.

5.  Hazy, Hot, and Humid with a High near 100°F. That’s what I can expect during the entire time that I will be in the northeastern suburbia of Dallas Texas later this week into this weekend. Me y mi familia plan to spend a majority of our life and times indoors near working HVACs !

That’s what’s on my mind on this Tuesday night. Thanks for reading !

Thursday Night Mini Thoughts

– This is the weekly blog series that I look forward to the most.
– If I did this twice per week then I wouldn’t look forward to it as much.
– These are my spontaneous spur-of-the-moment thoughts right now.
– It takes you 3 seconds or less to read each thought.
– That’s why the’re called ‘Mini Thoughts’.
– I’ve got to be careful here because I could offend someone.
– Oh well what if I do ?
– I’m just being real.
– It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been on this journey following God.
– The devil is always working hard to win you back.
– He wants you to commit sins and rejoin the darkness of the world.
– If you take your heart and soul off of God then you lose.
– But once you’ve fallen it’s real easy to get back up again.
– God is the solution to every problem.
– If you don’t believe that then you just don’t get it.
– Maybe some day you will.
– Hopefully some day you will.
– God will patiently wait for you to come around.
– It’s never too late to stop wasting time and start chasing daylight.
– I didn’t proceed into the light until after my 39TH birthday.
– Ask me about my new Life over the past 1,000+ days.
– TOMORROW is my 24TH anniversary in the United States Air Force.
– There are people working on base that were born after I started working there.
– If you were born in 1993 then you can drive a car now.
– That totally frightens me to bits and pieces !
– Dallas Texas got SLAMMED by torrential rains, flooding, and wind damage.
– Some parts of Dallas got over a half a FOOT of rain today and last night.
– If my flight to DFW was this afternoon then I would have gone nowhere.
– Hundreds of flights in and out of DFW were cancelled today.
– Luckily I’m flying in to the Metroplex NEXT Thursday afternoon.
– I hope the weather is peaceful and quiet then – here and there.
– I received a funny joke today via E-Mail regarding Texas.
– I’ll post it as a ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigan’ this weekend.
– I might see “The Hangover” at the movie theatre this weekend.
– It’s a surprising runaway box office smash hit !
– I’ll probably be laughing all throughout the funny flick.
– I love to laugh.
– Laughing is healthy.
– If I’m laughing then all is good in my Life.
– And it is.

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

The Tuesday night tradition CONTINUES:

1.  Since the rainy season began with a vengeance not quite 4 weeks ago the Homestead / Florida City area (including the northern communities up to Cutler Bay) have received between 16 and 18 inches of rain. My forecast from a few months ago (during the severe dry season) of a much wetter than normal rainy season is right on track. I may not know how to fix things, but I can give you a reasonably accurate weather forecast.

2.  We’re actually at the start of a short dry spell. Thunderstorms should be less numerous over the next several days through this weekend. Any isolated storms that do develop should be quick and benign. Expect lots of bright sunshine during the days with highs approaching the low-90s.

3.  I visited The Falls (Shopping Center) on 3 out of 5 days from last Thursday through this Monday. My economic impact to the mall exceeded $550 combined during those 3 days. Talk about a 2009 Economic Stimulus Package !  Nowadays I typically visit The Falls perhaps 3 to 5 times per YEAR. I feel like I’m reliving my childhood whenever I visit The Falls because it’s the first place I really ever hung out at on a regular basis when I first moved here back in the late-1980s. One thing is for sure. I like how they’ve remodeled the longtime United Artists / Regal Cinemas there. That old movie theatre is in much better shape than another one I know. I’ll have to see more movies there in the future.

4.  TODAY I ate Lunch at Beef O’ Brady’s. I did NOT have the Reuben sandwich there although they do make a good one. I enjoyed the Watterson instead. It’s basically hot roast beef piled high with melted swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo in-between two crispy slices of grilled rye bread dude !  I always enjoy great food and great service at the Beef’s. My only ‘Beef’ with the joint is its obscure location in relation to my home and workplace.

5.  In just 8 days I embark on yet another short trip to the northeastern suburbs of Dallas Texas to visit my brother, his wife, their dog, our Mom, our Dad, and their cat. I’ll be there for Father’s Day Weekend. Don’t worry – the blogging will continue every single day with all of the regular weekly series on their normal days.
