A variety of companies like Windstar Cruises and Shake Shack have announced they are installing UV-C ultraviolet light systems in their air handlers. UV-C kills coronaviruses among other things and is increasingly used in hospitals and other …

And finally, from United Airlines, the gift that keeps on giving, in another missive showing their hygienic lounges. The two ladies in the foreground are wearing facemasks while drinking their beverages, but the dude in the back is a bit more …

Fortunately, United Airlines followed up with a shorter, more concise version to its members just a few hours later on the same day as its first announcement.

This was sent from United Airlines to their frequent flyer members. If you can understand this on your first reading, then you're much smarter than me. But to save you the trouble, here's the gist: PC’s can earn PQP to qualify for 1K if they have …

In Livermore California, a man was impaled with a metal pipe while driving and died ... https://www.pleasantonweekly.com/news/2013/05/22/man-dead-in-freak-accident-on-i-580

Baked into a pie... what a horrible way to go!

With polls, I think it's important to differentiate between voting for someone because you like and support them and voting against someone because you dislike them. For example, in 2016 I heard a lot of people say they were voting for Hillary …

Why do that and get yelled at? Who needs that drama? Back in the Midwest where I'm from, everyone loves Trump. Trump signs and bumper stickers are everywhere. But if you have a Biden bumper sticker, no one will key your car. In the Bay Area …

I remember when Ronald Reagan was first elected president. No one I knew claimed to have voted for him, yet he convincingly defeated Jimmy Carter. What people say in public, even to their close friends, isn't what they do in the voting booth. Even …

This email from United Airlines informs us that COVID-19 has changed our travel routines ... in case you've been living totally off-grid since March. That said, at least they're going to start cleaning their planes for once!

From Arizona Family news (azfamily.com) is a bit confusing journalism. If the police don't know who the owners are of the missing emu, how do they know the emu is actually missing? Perhaps the emu does not have an owner and is simply on walkabout …

Hopefully they'll build some bigger, more impressive waterfalls! With laser or LED lights synchronized to music. Seriously, if you ever get the chance, I highly recommend staying overnight at the in-park lodges in Bryce Canyon and Mount Zion …
