This was just about 6 months before 9/11, March 19, 2001. We flew to

LA > that day, then on to HI the next (our 25 years, 6 months anniversary).
Ah, less complicated times.

Somewhat so, now with all the hoops that have to be jumped thru at
airports, the "good old days" seem very laid back.

Oh, for sure, but you learn to negotiate each new
set of hoops.

Active military still get a generous baggage
allowance, and I think even then the limits are
generally waived.

I don't remember if the duffle bag of uniforms was waived but other than
that (if it was), we had to follow the same restrictions on weight and
number of bags as other passengers. Our move from HI to GA was the last
tine we flew while active duty; we flew into LA then. Picked up a rental
car to get to LV where we finished the arraingments for the purchase of
the (out of) Focus which we drove to GA. When Steve retired, the Army
moved our stuff up to NC; we drove the (first) Escape.

As time has passed since the Vietnam War, the
level of respect for those in the military has
increased pretty steadily.

Nail polish and remover are nauseating and flammable;
they should be banned at least in airplane cabins (and
I would say elsewhere as well).

I'm not a user of either product myself.

Good for you - you won't be causing any poisonings
or explosions from them.

I'd hope that after being shocked, they would take the
lesson in creative improvisation to heart.

Overall, I'd say they have. I also used to use hair spray as a cheap
fixative for pencil, charcoal or chalk drawings.

Or maybe.

On a whim I checked seatguru.com (recommended for those
who want to choose an optimal plane seat in advance), and
Southwest planes have galleys both in front and in back,
whether they need them or not. Got to put all those Cokes
and pretzels someplace.

Don't forget the plane cookies and peanuts. Last time we flew, they also
had some sort of lemon or vanilla sandwich cookie too.

Most of the airlines I fly on are now peanut-free.
The good news is that when I get upgraded, the
nuts don't have any peanuts. The bad news is that
when I don't, the snacks don't have any peanuts.

Most often I use mayo in cold things like salads or to mix with tuna

or > chicken fish. Yes, I use it in winter, but not as much as summer time.

Today's mess hall lunch had tuna melts made with
mayo and pickles, combining the worst elements of
hot dishes and cold dishes. I had a spinach salad.

The obvious answer is that mayo is used mostly in
cold dishes in the US, In other countries, it's just
as likely to be an ingredient of warm food.

I have used it in some warm dishes as well, not as often however.

It's mainly eggs, oil, and vinegar, so it's
more likely that in a hot dish one would use a
sort of deconstructed mayo.

Hi Michael,

anniversary).
Ah, less complicated times.

Somewhat so, now with all the hoops that have to be jumped thru at airports, the "good old days" seem very laid back.

set of hoops.

Guess the next one (some years down the road yet) will be when we no
longer have to take off our shoes. (G)

Overall, yes. BTW, our daughter Deborah said that she was on TV--she's
in the AZ Army National Guard--they turned out big time for John
McCain's service/departure to DC the other day. We didn't see her but
figured (and she confirmed) she's be there.

No plans to at this point.

Or maybe.

I've not done any sketching in many years so haven't bought any hair
spray in probably 25 (or more) years. Yes, it's a safe bet I'd not have
any on a plane.

I though Southwest still had the honey roasted peanuts. They did last
year when we flew to/from Seattle. Of course there's no choice of seats
with them--we barely made our connection from Chicago to DC; I grabbed
the first set of 2 seats together I got to--and had a pleasant chat
with the young lady occupying the 3rd seat. She was going to visit her
husband (on a work assignment in NC) so I gave her some suggestions of
NC foods she had to try. (G)

I'd have had the spinach salad also. Tuna melt sounds like it's from a
grade school cafeteria meal.

Sounds logical.
