NEW YORK - This photo from the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) shows something never seen - and certainly not on what should be a busy Saturday afternoon in August: an empty Grand Central Station. With all transit in the New York area closed, the terminal is a big empty barn. If you're watching [...]

Michelle Obama joins the apparently growing population plagued by air traffic controller problems. If they aren't sleeping, or watching a movie, they have their eye off the prize where the First Lady's plane is concerned today at Andrew's Air Force Base. Thankfully she and all involved are okay.
However, I have to ponder all the recent, [...]

It's Friday night, and the world as we know it is coming to an end ... At least that's what the Congress and the MSM are trying to get us to believe. So, I was bored and digging through my back-up of dusty email and came across this one that a friend sent me of [...]

The issue of the invasive TSA screenings at the nation's airports seem to have dropped off the radar since we have plowed through the busy holiday travel season. As of a month ago a class action lawsuit against the DHS to halt the machines' use at the airport screening areas was in-play. However, the bigger [...]

I really think the level of violence and near anarchy going on down in Mexico right now is not being looked at with an equal level of seriousness and urgency. The increasingly grisly stories only pepper our news cycles. Meanwhile, there are those who are intentionally minimizing Mexico's current situation, [...]

I'm sure you all have had an eye on the breaking/developing news all day. I was contacted early this afternoon by my friend in San Francisco. The suspicious suitcase left near a bench in that city earlier today was outside her office windows. They have since gotten the "all clear". They ain't sweatin' this in [...]

I hate flying but I greatly respect it, even more so after 9-11.
My last flight was from Washington D.C. to Akron-Canton Airport here in Ohio two years ago. After sitting roughly two hours on the tarmac at Dulles waiting for our plane's turn to take off in the back-up the flight itself was uneventful [...]

To all you would be travelers to Cuba, before you hop on that plane to Havana on your way to an island beach vacation, Jose Reyes has a few words for you--take toilet paper.
