My iPhone is Possessed Part 2

Wow. My iPhone really did it this time. It dialed someone on Friday and then sent a text message that I will call them later.

I can't be the only person this is happening to.

The next step is contacting T-Mobile and Apple to ask how this is happening, I guess.

Again with Starbucks Latte

Here it is. I went back and asked for mirror the denser foam and was told that this is the way it came out. He offered to do it again but I declined, because the barista can't even tell the difference himself.

Crazy Pilots

"Crazy pilots" is a new thing. We didn't have these problems before.

We can argue about the merits of strongly locked doors to the cockpit. Obviously, locked cockpit doors would have prevented the 9-11 hijackers from succeeding. Or, they would have found another way to use a jetliner as a missile.

The locking mechanism to the cockpit is really not the issue.

Clearly, people with mental problems are being permitted to fly planes. Or rather, people with issues are not being permitted to take medicine, since pilots can't take Ritalin, Celexa, etc.

Along with the spate of violent cop incidents, the question must be: what has changed?

We are getting a different result: crazy mass-murdering pilots. What has changed in the pilot-choosing system, or the pilot-vetting system, that we are getting these results?

The stories are terrible and frightening. Flying is scary for me on a good day.

There used to be three people in the cockpit. A Navigator would be in there with the pilot and copilot. That position has been eliminated in commercial flights as unnecessary and expensive.

Maybe it's time to rethink that.

Starbucks Quality Slide

Look at this photo. The foam on top of my latte is flat.

I spend too much money for a latte to not get the fluffy milk foam I pay for.

And, yes, a person can complain and ask for another latte. But who wants to do that? Looking into the young, earnest coffee-preparer's face and complain? Can't do it.

Judge for yourself. Am I wrong? Is this how the milk foam is supposed to look?
