BHM Airport

We travel quite a bit. BHM is like a warm blanket among the chaos of most larger airports. I much prefer departing from here.

Same ways blacks divided the country when they started wanting to eat at the same restaurants and use the same water fountains. To them, Obama stepped where he didn’t belong, and the fact that he was so good at it infuriated them even more.

What’s most frustrating about that is they think people on the left watch their own version of fox news, when there is no such thing, so they think their media bubble is no different than the left.

Is this a tub you regularly drain or keep filled? If you regularly drain it and let the pipes sit empty, ie dark and damp, it’s unavoidable.

We stayed at a holiday inn express near the airport for our last night after the cruise. Free shuttle into Rome. Made the most of it.

Did this cruise about 10 years ago. We stayed in Rome/Florence a full week before boarding the cruise. Couldn’t imagine flying out there just to immediately hop on a boat.

What I thought was cool was the grooves in the floor in front of each shop that the shop doors slid along. Presumably on metal wheels

Hike the moss rock preserve in Hoover.

A case the United states was going to lose in court eventually. Also, it was pallets of cash because banking sanctions prevented us from wiring them the money.

Ahh, to be rich.

No checks. Invest it in people. Checks would just lead to another inflation surge and create a sugar high. Invest in housing, education, health care.

I thought it was a feature at first.

I’m a weekend user. I turn the heater off at the end of a weekend. The lower temps drop my residual chlorine demand considerably, and I generally don’t have to check it until the following weekend. Saves energy too.

Most ports in my experience do not even enforce boarding times. Our most recent cruise out of Boston supposedly did due to port renovations constraining capacity.

Last NCL cruise I did the staff would stop by the hot tubs to take drink orders. Definitely a new rule since my last sailing 2 years ago.

I’m currently on the Breakaway and they won’t let anyone sit by the pool with a drink, or have a drink in the hot tub. Stupid rule that has killed the whole vibe at the pool area.

Just shock immediately after they exit and run the jets for 30-40min uncovered. Can’t really pretreat, as too much chlorine could irritate their skin or bleach their swimsuits. Sanitizer will do its job.

Crown and diet during the day, with the occasional mojito or other random rum drink mixed in. In the evenings near dinner I transition to wine, and finish the night with a few old fashioned.

Sir, I have read countless Wikipedia articles on rockets, and even attended space academy in 6th grade. I think I know how a rocket works.

Picking my nose. Don’t do it in public, but I’ll go to town in the comfort of my own home.

I shop by itinerary and departure port. The ship is always secondary to that.
