That image was on my mind a little as the plane was being de-iced before takeoff on Monday morning. I was even flying US Airways. But I digress.
One last thing about Massachusetts - Dunkin' Doughnuts is the Epicenter of the Universe. I am not kidding. Dunkin' Doughnuts is to Massachusetts what Target is to the Twin Cities. One can be found every half-block. I think the coffee sold there is as important to the people as the doughnuts themselves. (Phil - maybe you can clue me in on the reason for this phenomenon.) The Twin Cities had a few Dunkin' Doughnuts years back, but they all went out of business. Apparently, however, the franchise will make it's triumphant return to the area very soon. If one is built near THE CHECK, I could reach 300 pounds in the future.
Hey - speaking of coffee - did you see this article about a study of heavy coffee drinkers and possible hallucinating? According to the study, those individuals who drink seven or more cups of coffee a day are more prone to "hallucinating and hearing voices." I have a couple of questions:
1. What constitutes "a cup" of coffee? Is it 12 ounces? So, a Caribou or Starbucks "large" coffee may constitute "3" cups?? So, if a person has a couple of these, are they dangerously close to the "hearing voices level."
2. Does caffeine in other food and drink count? How about pop and chocolate?? Will this put a person over the edge?
Let's just say, I know plenty of people who have multiple large coffees a day, along with chocolate, pop, etc. This actually explains A LOT.
That's all for now. I have some thoughts on The World of Sports, particularly the spending patterns of the four professional Minnesota sports teams, that I will share later this week.
Peace,
Jeff

I have a theory about Dunkies. I believe that a full 1/3 of all the methamphetamine manufactured in the Northeast is pumped directly into Dunkins coffee.
Rarely do I see anyone go there for donuts, but coffee flows like rain over there.
this country is fueled by caffeine and nicotine. I have one pot down by 6:30, switch to vitamin water energy (the yellow stuff)a few diet cokes, maybe one more cup of joe. all before noon. life is good
tony - Any "hallucinations?" "Voices?"
I actually hallucinate the vikes winning the superbowl, and I hear our old manz school principle gordon wollum yelling at us in the lunchroom back in 1976 to sit down and shut the f..k up before we could get out for recess
I had the same thing happen, but then I get horse-collared by "Lurch" during walk-around at Central.
I always like it (theoretically of course) when a plane crashes right before I go on a trip. I figure what are the odds of a second crash?
Free - the thought actually crossed my mind, although I do not wish ill will on anyone. I figure all of the pilots, mechanics, etc., are extra careful after something like that.
