It seems that now that I’m a road warrior again that my favorite travel companies are starting to suck.  United now has a Fat Passenger policy and Hertz started charging $250 extra if you smoke in their cars.  Where do I fit in?  I’m fat and smoke.

Now I’m trying to change both of those.  I don’t like being fat (I Decided I want to live longer) and I don’t really like smoking anymore.  I think I only smoke because everyone tells me I can’t anymore.  Oh well I still fly United but I rent my cars from National now.

This would truly suck!  A King Air was flying a charter flight with two pilots and two passengers when, at 23,000 feet one of them starts freaking out opened the door and jumped out.  The pilots had to make an emergency landing because they couldn’t get the door closed again.

I’m wondering how he managed to get the door open.  A King Air is pressurized and I think you would have to be very strong to get the door open against the internal pressure and the slipstream of air moving past at 200 knots.

 Since I was home this weekend I decided to upgrade to the latest version of DNN.  There is a bunch of cool new stuff included with the new version and I'll be using more of it soon.
