Yuppers, you heard that right... Monster Jam!!
My mother-in-law bought all of her immediate family (14 of us) Monster Jam tickets with pit passes for Christmas and the day is finally around the corner! Tomorrow we head out to Atlanta to get on the Marta bus and ride it to the Dome.
I am taking 2 memory cards and exrta batteries for my camera. I will post pictures so I can share them! It will probably be Sunday before I can get them posted, it will be late when we get back in.
Atlanta, here we come!

have a good time
love those monsters... yeah...
Ya'll try'n bahave yournselves.
1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her
hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane?)
2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to Cape Town.
I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information,
then she interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid,
but Cape town is in Massachusetts." Without trying to make her look
stupid, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Cape town is in
Africa." Her response - click.
3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain t hat's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!"
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, "Is it possible to see
England from Canada?" I said, "No." She said, "But they look so close
on the map."
5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he
could rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he
had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to
rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a
car to drive between gates to save time." (Aghhhh)
6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it
was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 am got to Chicago
at 8:33 am. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she
couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane
went fast, and she bought that.
7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical
description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" I
said, "No, why do you ask?"
She replied, "Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag
on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very
rude!" After putting her on hold for a minute while I looked into it (I was
laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, CA is (FAT -
Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on her
luggage.
8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After
going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California, and then take the train to Hawaii?"
9. I just got off the p hone with a freshman Congressman who
asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he
meant, to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of
these planes have numbers on them."
10. A lady Senator called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, Fl. on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever, smarty!"
11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded him that he needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those! " I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, "Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!"
12. A New Mexico Congress woman called to make reservations, "I want to go
from Chicago to Rhino, New York." I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, "Are
you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights do you have?" replied
the lady. After some searching, I came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked
up every airport code in the country and can't find a Rhino anywhere." The lady
retorted, "Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!"
So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "You don't
mean Buffalo, do you?" The reply? "Whatever! I knew it was a big animal."
These are the people who make the decisions that affect our lives. Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in.
