Three Thoughts for Thursday

During my visit to DC last week, I overheard 2 natives complaining about the Cherry Blossom Festival 10 Mile Run. “It’s so flat,” they said, “and so boring to run along the Potomac, past the Kennedy Center and all the memorials.” they said. “You should come to Iowa, ” I said, “where you can run past pig farms and cornfields.” They smiled.
Airline stewards need to know that when passengers informing them of ice crystals cascading from the overhead air vents, responding with “Yes, we keep turning up the heat, but it isn’t helping” is not a reassuring response.
