Got the boy moved in and situated. Furnishings by Facebook marketplace for pennies on the dollar. On the way to the airport I gave my son some advice as he starts his first real job. 1 - you get one chance to make a first impression. Make it a good one. 2 - to be early is to be on time. To be on time is to be late.
Surprised how small the Madison area is given the designation as state capitol. Less than three hundred thousand people. How is this possible? Maybe people don’t like the cold? Paper bags are an option at the grocery store! Strawberries taste better. They don’t have breakfast tacos. There’s lots of wide open farmland. Few fences is residential areas. People in Texas are far. People in Wisconsin aren’t? Wisconsin feels like Pennsylvania but it is located in the Midwest? Area is not as densely populated. Two Home Depot’s two Walmarts and two tsrgets. One Costco. One Sam’s Club. Lots of mom and pop businesses. Fewer chains. They have an alphabet flag cross walk near the state house. I thought that was illegal. Thy fly the alphabet flag in Verona. No thank you. White people drive teslas. Salt destroys cars.
Side note - airport is served by legacy carries. Small. 13 gates. Observed primarily business partner operation.
Spirit airlines called it quits. Everyone is saying caused by high fuel prices and failed merger. If anything the failed merger prevent two airlines from failing instead of one. Will previous employer survive as an independent or will it be bought? Who wants their debt? It’s reallly about access to slots and other assets be acquired on the cheap. Who cares
I wrote a Facebook post sharing my thoughts on all of it.
