One of the many photos I took while in San Diego last week. The story behind the photo though is that I had a hundred and three degree fever on the day I took this and had to reschedule my plane trip back because I was following the airlines' recommendations that when you have a fever, you shouldn't sit on an enclosed plane breathing recirculated air with over two hundred other healthy people. The airline was only too happy to let me miss my scheduled flight and avoid infecting a large cross section of the population with swine flu... and only too happy to charge me for the privilege of doing so.

See, here is where I would have taken the opportunity to teach the airlines to stop being such greedy bastards. First, they decide to stop feeding us (okay, so some people don't like their food, but I am obsessed with cafeteria-style food and TV dinners, so it appealed to me), then they charge us for ANY checked baggage. Finally, they've become so cheap that they now charge for drinks. That's why I would have gotten on the plane, sneezed in every single one of the flight attendants' faces, and said "If you'd stop trying to nickel and dime everyone, maybe I would have waited until I was no longer infectious to fly on your plane." Or, at least, I would have thought it.
