A Frugal Fishing Vacation

Growing up around hundreds of fresh-water lakes, fishing is in my blood. In fact, I love it. In my opinion, there is nothing better for a kid than taking them fishing and I was lucky to be able to fish nearly every day of my childhood. As an adult however, I rarely take the time […]

Isabella on a walk

Quick Shooting Tip See this photo below? I can’t claim credit for this idea! It came from my friend Cliff Baise. But if you get down in some grasses or thin plants and shoot with a shallow DOF (low Aperture number), then you can end up with this nice-looking effect! The Myth of Talent Here’s […]

My Beef With American’s New Catering

American and US Airways aligned their domestic first class catering as of September 1, 2014.

I don't usually take much of an interest in domestic airplane food, though I did share my first experience with the new catering over the weekend, which was underwhelming. The "salad" consisted mostly of shredded lettuce, and the chicken was possibly the worst chicken I've ever had in a premium cabin.

Today I had a lunch flight from San Francisco to Dallas, which is under three hours in the air.

North American National Park #42: Badlands, South Dakota

Technically, Badlands National Park was the first national park I ever visited. My family visited here on a road trip in the late 70’s. I’ve visited several times since then and it never ceases to amaze me. What makes Badlands special is its colorful landscape. The erosional features of the park are actually the remains [...]

United is Lying to You, In Their Own Words

There is a very important lesson, that’s easy to forget sometimes. Your frequent flyer program is lying to you (although some lie more than others). There’s no purity here, so the offenses are all relative and need to be kept in perspective. Still, United coming right out and saying that they don’t keep their promises […]

My Flight Made The News… Sorta!

Yesterday I wrote in passing about my flight delay from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, as a result of my inbound aircraft being delayed by about five hours.

Reader PST Andy commented on the post with a link to an ABC7 Los Angeles article about a delayed flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

I'm not sure whether I'm more amused by the fact that this was the inbound of my flight, or the fact that this is quite possibly the least interesting airline delay story I've ever read:
