The Transportation Department is ordering airlines to let passengers stuck in stranded airplanes exit after three hours.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Monday announced the three-hour limit and other new passenger protections long sought by consumer advocates. From January to June this year, 613 planes were delayed on tarmacs for more than three hours.

>Postcard Friday #49

>In all the excitement of finding my ring and going to see Rob Thomas tonight, I almost forgot about Postcard Friday!

My parents live in Washington State, when I visit them I buy postcards to bring home, you know it saves all that time, driving out to see something, then not seeing anything because it rains all the time meaning there are rainclouds everywhere and you can’t see anything!


The back of the card says:
LAKE CRESCENT
OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK
WASHINGTON
This view is from Storm King Mountain.
I find that insanely funny because there is a Storm King Mountain here in New York, right across the river from me. It is a lovely 14º Fahrenheit here (-10ºC), I wonder what the temperature is at that Storm King Mountain?

>“Water Is Worth It” Facebook Page Launched by EPA’s Office of Water

On December 9, the Agency launched a new Facebook page, titled: “Water Is Worth It” to provide a public forum to share information, encourage discussion, and raise awareness about the value of our water and water-related resources.

EPA will be regularly posting information and discussion topics, which Facebook users can have delivered to their virtual door by becoming a “fan” of the page. You can reach the page via the link given below, and we encourage all to post and interact as we discuss and learn about our nation’s water and water infrastructure–and the many ways that Water Is Worth It!

>Things I love about NYC

Filed under: Uncategorized
December 13, 2009

>No not a new feature. Just my observations.

It is Christmas. For the record, I don’t celebrate Christmas. But I love to shop and this time of year is great for shopping, especially in New York. For one thing the holiday fairs. One is in Grand Central Terminal and another is in Bryant Park. At the one in Bryant Park is the booth pictured at right. I don’t know what the name means, but in this booth they are selling bags made from candy wrappers and pages from magazines. I am sure if you went on the website for them (which I haven’t done since I don’t really care) they would explain the whole process.

I bought this little bag, it is the perfect size for my camera and since I just bought a larger pocket book (so I could carry my Sony reader), it fits in there. The only thing I didn’t like, was I was here with Em and there was one in purple. I didn’t have enough money so I didn’t get one, when I came back there were no more purple ones.

There was also this place called Om Aroma & Co., Transform your skin the organic way. Em bought this hand cream that was oh, exquisite.

Another thing I like about shopping in New York at Christmas time is that for me, no parking issues! I also like the lights. They are pretty.

>I started a ‘feature’ called Check out this blog a while back, to see the original post click here.

Now I have to decided to put them in a list in my sidebar. Check it out, since I am so creative I titled it, Check out this blog. The list of blogs at the bottom is old favorites, blogs that I have been reading for a while. I don’t know how long a blog will be on the Check out this blog list before I move it down. I am thinking I will limit the list to 10, and when I get more then 10, I will move some down. The blog The Foxx Loves the Yankees is mine and is (as you probably can guess) about the Yankees and other baseball stuff.

I have some other things to tell you, but it will have to wait until after breakfast.

>Sometimes,

Filed under: Uncategorized

>I am a real dork.

Example No. 1.

I thought I had a scratch on my eyelid. For about a week, give or take a few days, I was putting Vaseline and Neosporin on it, then one morning I was looking at it and said to myself, “That’s not a scratch, that’s eczema!” My doctor told me it would come back with the cold weather. So now I am putting that medicine on it and it is clearing up.

Example No. 2.

I got an e-mail from the Yankee Fan Club that Joe Girardi was going to be signing autographs at the AT&T store in Time Square. So I went there and planned to get an autograph and tell him something, and all I said was “Thank you.” For the full story, complete with pictues you will have to go to my MLB blog The Foxx Loves the Yankees.

>I have some blogs that show up on my iGoogle home page, ‘Brit Gal in the USA’ is one of them. Today I saw the title of her post was Cute and Practical. So I clicked on it and up came this picture of this absolutely adorable tea pot! I want one, just in purple not pink. I know this one is not pink, but the one Brit Gal got is pink, that is why I said purple not pink. Anyway, I am definitely getting one. At least one, I might decide I need two, one for home and one for work.

If you would like a closer look at it you can click on the link to Brit Gal’s post or click here.

>Bedtime

>past bedtime actually. Story of my life, I am doing good if I get to sleep before midnight. Em and I went shopping this morning. I had coupon for Victoria’s Secret that I got when I ordered some things from them. $10 dollars off anything. So she got underwear and I got some sleep tops. You are supposed to wear them with pajama bottoms, but since I never wear the bottoms anyway, well I do, but not always.

We also went to JoAnn Fabrics and I got blue thread to sew on my patch. The patch had sticky stuff on the back, but the sticky stuff is not designed to hold the patch on the clothing you want to put the patch on. It looks very sharp if I do say so myself.

Other then that not much going on today. Em roasted chicken for dinner and baked brownies with sticky chocolate icing.
