I simply won’t get on a plane. No reason for it that I can pinpoint but I’d have to be knocked unconscious in order to be put on a plane. I get light-headed and queasy if I have to go to an airport to pick someone up or see them off.
Cars, boats, and trains work for me. With all the sickness they’ve had on ships lately, I think I’ll pass on those. Not exactly fun. ergh.
Judge Jeannine’s on, she has a very good show tonight, JJ has great shows usually.... go for the mega-coverage of CNN if it pleases someone.
Some people get ill even on calm flights. I have flown dozens of times with no ill effect. The average odds are extremely good for safety. But when a plane does go down it does so with great drama.
Adrian, is that you?
LOL...HOWEVER if I need to go outside of the USA and it’s not on land, I will need a ship. Maybe a cargo ship, but a ship nonetheless...lol
As I get older and perhaps more cynical I too get more and more concerned about flying in a plane, it’s silly of course, flying is a hugely safe method of transportation and when I was a young man I had total confidence in aircraft but now before the plane takes off I think to myself:
“Here we all are packed into an aluminium tube carrying several tons of highly explosive kerosene and the bloke at the front is going to send it hurtling down this concrete runway as fast as he can until he can get it to lift off into the air. Then when he has done that he is going to fly through the clouds, for long periods in the middle of the night for thousands of miles until he finds a speck of light from way up in the air and then he will slow the plane down so that it drops to the earth and he can land it on a concrete strip and hurtle along the ground again until he can bring it to a stop. Hey what could possibly go wrong?”
Like I say I am either completely illogical for worrying about that or I am the only sane person aboard the big flying tube.
What, you don't think God can find you on the ground?
