I have no problem with the sales tax raise other than the extra money it brings in will be completely misused, just like they misuse what's there now.

As to the airlines, a bad day is coming for them - and then not only will they desperately and pathetically be trying to woo customers back, you'll see the lowest airfares in years and them giving away everything, drinks and food-wise.  And it's coming sooner than you can possibly imagine.  I haz spoken.

Yay, new blood and new C.L.'s - and good ones.

As to the airlines, a bad day is coming for them - and then not only will they desperately and pathetically be trying to woo customers back, you'll see the lowest airfares in years and them giving away everything, drinks and food-wise.  And it's coming sooner than you can possibly imagine.  I haz spoken.

Well, for now, the ailines reaction is to dramatically reduce flights:

USA TODAY

Los Angeles International is facing a big hit to its flight schedules as airlines cut flights and reduce capacity there in response to soaring fuel costs. The Daily Breeze of Torrance, Calif., writes the spike in fuel has "prompted the airlines to use smaller jets, cut routes and increase ticket prices, leading to a reduction of more than 1,900 weekly takeoffs and landings at LAX by late fall, according to scheduling data released Friday by Atlanta-based Innovata, one of two airline industry databases." That?s a 16.4% drop in flights when compared with the same period a year earlier, according to Innovata.

Before the airlines can beg customers to return, they have to be able to charge fares reflecting their real costs  - they may have to ignore the vacation travellers and the "little guy" and stick with full fare business travel.

Unless the cost of fuel takes a dramatic drop (most unlikely), the days of cheap air fare are gone for good.

I just got back from seeing "Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D" and it was definitely in 3-D.

Actually, it was pretty good.  Not as many individual "adventures" as I would've thought, but then the movie is only about an hour and a half long, so what can you expect?  

The best part of the movie?  Brendan Fraser in 3-D.
