There’s An App For That Logo

Grassy Knoll Institute Conspiracy App

So I’m flying United Airlines, (Which BTW I am a Mileage plus customer) and I get assigned seat 13D, wich is a standard aisle seat. Twenty four hours ago, I attempted to change my seat by logging onto United’s website. Lo and behold, the computer said all seats were taken even though several emergency row exit seats were showing available. WTF!!!

I called United’s 800 number and after going through 11 prompts, I got to a real person. (At least I thought I did) The United agent took my information and stated all seats were taken and the flight was full. I informed her the United web site showed three emergency exit row seats available. The United agent said that the United website was not accurate and not showing real time updates. I asked why would United post outdated information misleading paying customers. She said she didn’t know but all seats were taken for my flight.

The next day at the airport, after just viewing the (Updated) available seats, two emergency row seats were still available. I asked the ticket agent if I could please change my seat assignment to one of the emergency row exit seats. Inez, (The ticket agent) typed away at her keyboard and like the robot agent on the phone the previous evening said that all seats were assigned. Again I told Inez that the United website had seat 12A and 12B still available. She said I was wrong. In essence, by saying I was wrong she was stating United was wrong.

In an instant the other shoe dropped. Inez said that seat 13D, (My seat) was a premium seat that had 5 extra inches of leg room and that I didn’t need to change my seat. (If you go to seatguru.com it states that my seat on an Airbus A320 (United’s Jet) was not an economy plus seat and had a standard seat pitch. As I already knew, my seat did not have the extra leg room Inez, the United airlines ticket agent claimed it had.

An hour later I boarded the plane, stowed away my carry on and took my seat on the plane. A woman took sear 12B and just as the door was closing, a young man sat in seat 12A. During the four hour flight, we got to talking and he said he switched flights taking an earlier one and he was damn lucky getting on the plane for seat 12A was the last seat available.

Now you understand the photo above of the LOTGK logo in the process of loading a program.

LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

A Walk Down Las Vegas Blvd

I travel to Las Vegas several times a year for business. To get my exercise regiment in, I jog Las Vegas Blvd every night. This particular evening was very crowded and I couldn’t get a good pace weaving in and out of all the people sightseeing. I was just coming up to Caesars Palace on my way to the Mirage Hotel and decided to stop jogging and whip out my camera and film the Boulevard, the lights, and the people.

This is my five minute walk back to the Las Vegas Mirage hotel starting at Caesars Palace casino.

Halloween Costume Contest – Entry #2

The Hulk - The Formative Years

Apparently they’ll let anyone into a Las Vegas Halloween trade show these days. Even mutants who smash military tanks, (Are there any other kind?) destroy entire cities, and glow with some sort of radioactive blood coursing through their veins. And look, he’s pissed, he just paid $7 dollars for that Monster drink at the Sands concession stand.

HULK WILL BE MAD IF YOU DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM!!!!

Happy Halloween – Samhain

LURKING, IN THE SHADOWS, ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Playful Penguins

I saw this toy at the Las Vegas ASD trade show back in March. It is the exact toy I bought my son Patrick 22 years ago. Patrick loved that toy. He would laugh like a crazy person every time the penguins glided down the slopes. I still have the toy tucked away in the attic somewhere. We called it Petey Pengiuns, perhaps because of the Youngstown State University Penguins, or perhaps that is what my big brother George called me as a nick name. (Petey) or, one more perhaps, it is because it was the name of the dog of the Little Rascals.

Bellagio Hotel Water Fountains

I finally stopped and watched the Las Vegas Bellagio Hotel and Casino water fountain show. I am usually jogging by them and never stopped to watch. Today, I decided to stop. Usually, as I would run by, the fountains would be choreographed to music and in perfect sync but today, no music. Just the fountains. Anyway, enjoy the water fountain show.
