Albany NY

Fun Fact of the Day – What do a box of cracker jacks and a speeding ticket in the state of New York have in common? There’s a surprise at the end of both of them! Turns out when you get a speeding ticket in the state of NY, you have to mail in your guilty/non-guilty plea and then they tell you later what your penalty is. Ummmmmmmmm, THAT’S not fair!! Last time I did that, I didn’t have a license for a year, remember that? And please…aren’t they supposed to spot you like 5 miles. I must not have been a very sympathetic figure in my big Toyota highlander because that rat bastard gave me a ticket for every BIT of the 83 miles per hour that I was ALLEDGEDLY traveling.

Which in turn made me even LATER for my flight. Good thing the Albany airport is the size of my living room. I asked the little old TSA man if I could cut to the front of the security line seeing as my flight left in 26 minutes. His reply – “ma’am, you can only take two bags through”. Omigod, my head almost spun around. Here I am trying to make this flight and this little old man of a power trip is telling me I can’t take my suitcase, briefcase and purse on the airplane. To which I, of course, replied “shouldn’t you be somewhere greeting Wal Mart shoppers or serving Otis Spunkmeyer cookies??? Here’s my purse, I hope you’re happy.” Needless to say, I got the extra security check.
