The year the world changed

January 2009: A plane crash where everyone survives, a black president (who rides the train?!), and I can smell a lie like a fart on Mars. So far, ‘09 is off to a legendary start!

Let me start by saying it amazes me that it’s taken this long to hear about a major yet completely non-fatal plane crash. Having read Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, I learned that the majority of fatal plane crashes are not straight up due to mechanical failure. The causes are usually a combination of something like weather and overtired pilots or bad communication, etc… Meaning: a trained, alert, assertive pilot should be able to navigate most troublesome situations successfully. So, all I can say is, good job, Mr. Pilot Man! This world needs more people like you who are frickin’ good at what they do.

Let me also add… Holy Cow. This is the first Martin Luther King weekend where there’s something extra to celebrate. What a crazy coincidental inauguration date. That’s all I have to say about that.

And lastly, who the hell’s been stinking up Mars?
Scientists found Methane on Mars indicating there might be life there. I’m no scientist, but what if it means there’s Taco Bell on other planets? And aliens share our love for chalupas and toy ore.

Life in small town Colorado continues to be both entertaining and relaxing.

I like the topics: Taco Bell + Obama = Pure Goodness.

Ok, maybe that’s not what you were shooting for, but it did resonate with me.
