Up,Up and Away In Your Private Jet

I love to fly. Any excuse and I am in the air. When I was a young girl, I wanted to become a pilot. This was after I wanted to be a race car driver. My family all told me I was crazy, that women did not fly airplanes (or drive race cars).

When I was in my mid-20s, I worked at a large semiconductor manufacturer in Austin and they had many clubs and organizations. I joined the aero club. My plan was to get my license and then approach some friends of mine for funding. I had this idea about doing scenic tours over Central Texas and earning a living picking people up at the Austin Municipal Airport and dropping them off at the private airstrips in Lakeway and Lago Vista outside of Austin.

We (aero club members) split the cost of renting an airplane and gasoline—it was so inexpensive back then. We would take off from and land at from Bergstrom Air Force Base. This was before the military left and before homeland security. We would do touch and goes and fly around the Hill Country and the Highland Lakes. Some of the members were pilots and some members were like me, just wanting to fly. I joined the Civil Air Patrol and was well on my way to having a license when I met my first husband and moved to Dallas. I never flew a plane again.

Executive Jet Charter is a unique private jet charter company that provides concierge style service. If you have a plane, you may leave it with them and they will maintain and charter it for you, thus appreciably reducing your expenses. If you have an emergency or just want to plan a trip for your friends and extended family, the cost to charter a jet starts at $8000.

Bloggers Unite for Human Rights : Burma

This post is made in support of Bloggers Unite on Human Rights.



This blog post hopes to make readers more aware of the humanitarian disaster that continues in Burma / Myanmar in the wake of the cyclone that hit that hit there during the first of May.

Burma / Myanmar is ruled by one of the most brutal and corrupt regimes in the world, a military regime that has refused to recognize the lawfully elected Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD), who won 82 percent of the seats in elections held in 1990. The people of Burma have overwhelmingly rejected military rule yet the military continues to refuse to transfer power to Burma's democratically elected leaders.

The military is also responsible for:

• The widespread use of forced labor;
• Over 1 million people forced from their homes;
• At least 1100 political prisoners, many of whom are routinely tortured;
• As many as 70,000 child soldiers, which is more than any other country in the world.
• Rape as a weapon of war against ethnic women and children;
• Nearly half the government budget spent on the military and just 19p per person per year on health; and,
  
• One in ten babies die before their fifth birthday.

However, the worst crimes of the corrupt regime occurred during the first week May, when they did not evacuate or warm residents of Myanmar that a deadly cyclone was going to hit their country. The military leaders chose NOT to warn their countrymen that danger and death were coming ashore through the most populated area of their country.

Now, the military continue in their mission of genocide by refusing to let relief workers inside the country to help. They reroute relief aid where they want it and mark the supplies and medicines with their names and hand it out to their political supporters.

The Burmese military plan to go ahead with the constitutional referendum on May 24 in the devastated areas affected by Cyclone Nargis. Using aid supplies and medicines, the military is going to try to take by coercion what they could not take in legal elections.




The military regime continues to handicap any relief effort to help the people devastated by the cyclone. People are living in flood waters, surrounded by their dead, without food or drinking water. Please take action by donating what you can afford or by writing or calling your congress person and demanding action.

If you cannot do anything else, please pray for these people who are lost in a hell of nature and their government's making.

Save the Fire Ants and Roaches

Michael and I were talking about having some bumper stickers printed. We like unique (strange and funny) bumper stickers like "compost happens," "save the fire ants and roaches" or "I'm not insensitive, I just don't care." We like the looks and honks we get when we are rolling down the road and someone spots one of them. In the past, we have kept extras on hand for folks to buy. Yes, there are people as wacko as we are! LOL

I started looking for places on the web to have bumper stickers printed. Frontier Labels, Inc. prints bumper stickers for about $1 each. I was excited! However, when I looked at the instructions for preparing files for printing, my excitement died. You must prepare files with a bleed area and a safe zone, both of which take 0.125 inch off the width and the length. You also have to use .jpeg, .tiff or .bmp formats or embed the fonts in the file. You have to create your files using CMYK, not RGB, and submit the file in PDF.

After reading all this information about formatting and file types, I told Michael that we would just have to find some stock bumper stickers we like. Printing has become excessively complicated for me.

Drive a Luxury Automobile

My son has not had much luck with his car, an Audi A4. He had to replace the clutch and some type of emissions sensor, and now he needs struts all the way around. He has a warranty of sorts, so the repairs are not so bad, but he always has to rent a car.

He was complaining about the car rental outfit with which he is dealing, and I told him to go to Advantage. Advantage has premium car rentals for those who can afford them. For $1850 per day, you can rent a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Convertible. For $2000 a day, you may rent a 2007 Bentley GTC Convertible. How about this? Drive up to your high school reunion in a 2007 Mercedes AMG CLS63. This only costs $650 for five hours!

If you want to impress someone, call Advantage Premium Car Rentals.
