Why is it that it only takes one little thing to set your day off and not in a good way? My morning started out good. Sunshine and 80 degrees with a slight breeze, awesome.
My daughter ate lunch without a fight today. That is always a good thing. Then we headed out to Sam's, Babies R' Us and to get the car wash. All went well until the drive home.
Why is it that the person that pulls right out in front of you and slams on their brakes (because you are now to close to them) and then flips you off when you go around them? That has always confused me. I have often thought that maybe I am the only person that this ever happens to. I don't know why it angers me so, but IT does. It especially bugs me when I have my child in the back seat.
So, now I am home and my blood pressure has returned to normal (it took a little chocolate to help stabilize it). I guess it is true what they always say. It is not the big things in life that are the most troubling, it is the little things!

Spirit Airlines
I am sure that I am not the only person that is disappointed with Spirit airlines new charge for carry on bags. I saw the segment on the Nightly News and then read the article about Spirit airlines new policy. I think that it is ridiculous to charge up to $45 for a carry on bag. I guess that the only saving grace is that if you can fit it under the seat, then it is free.
But, what about Bulk head seats or emergency row seats. There is no seat in front of you to stow luggage. I guess you really have to pay a premium if you car about the safety of the plane (emergency row) or your comfort (bulk head).
What really infuriated me was when the CEO was asked about people flying with children. He was asked, "What about people flying with children?" These people have car seats, strollers, extra bags (filled with diapers, wipes, toys, etc.) and coolers (formula and food). The CEO's response was: "carry less, pay less." How unbelievable. I guess what he is saying is that he does not want people with children to choose his airline. Unless, of course you would like to hand over a fortune to the airline.
Spirit used to be a inexpensive way to fly. By the time a person is done paying all of the fees for Spirit, they may as well pay full price and fly on a real airline like United or Northwest.
I think as a society, we owe it to ourselves to boycott Spirit. All the other airlines are watching this. If consumers find this practice acceptable, then there is nothing stopping the other airlines from following suit. Where will the fees end?
Enough is Enough.
