Trip Bullet Points

I went to Frisco, TX (which is suburban Dallas-Fort Worth) on business last night-today. Here’s PowerPoint summary:

  • The Breeze card machine gave me two Breeze cards, two quarters, and 16 Susan B. Anthony dollars for my twenty. Fuck you, MARTA.
  • My flight out left late.
  • And landed late.
  • DFW is a horrid airport. Like everything else in Dallas, it’s way too spread out.
  • I reserved a Dodge Neon from Dollar; they gave me a Dodge Caravan. Fuck you, Dollar.
  • The Hampton Inn in Frisco, TX is quite swank, though. That was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Too bad I only had six hours to use it.
  • We went out to lunch at this quaint little restaurant that just oozed Lone Star State charm. It was called The Olive Garden.
  • The flight attendant on my DeathTran flight back to Atlanta said the pilot was Captain Worry who was assisted by First Officer Wart. Hahaha! You crazy kids!
  • DeathTran flights have complimentary XM radio on board. It even works with regular headphones. I thought, “Super Swank,” as I tuned into the Detroit station broadcast of the World Series. I thought, “Super Shitacular,” the third time the reception went away and I was rudely dropped back to their default Utter Shiite Smooth Jazz (though I repeat myself) station.
  • Riding MARTA home made me very conscious of how privileged I am. Not that I cared enough to give the beggar on Peachtree Street any money as I walked back to my office building to pick up my truck.
