re: Best and Worst Airports in US

Posted by Topisawtiger on 5/5/25 at 10:44 pm
Worst. Not sure, there are many. But the smallest I've seen is Hattiesburg. Waiting area the size of my living room. There is a sign that says "Gate 1". There is no Gate 2. Took 45 minutes to get 14 people through checkpoint. Food court is a gumball machine. Three flights a day. But, parking is free.

West High Blue Devils was the "black" school in Jackson. They consolidated with Jackson in 1970. That school became Jackson Elementary. Btw, Jackson High was burned down in 78-79. It was truly a really good school in those days. Don't know much about East Feliciana High to comment.
You're born where you're born, you die where your wife's from. And she ain't from Louisiana.

I read that your blood type has a lot to do if mosquitoes harass you or not. O- is supposedly the worst.

UFB Direct at 4.01.
My dad was in the Korean War. He lied about his age and joined at 16. No birth certificate required in 1952, what Pops said anyway.
I don't see Roger Wicker from Mississippi. Is he an abstain?

re: Who here rides a motorcycle?

I ride the trace a couple years back.
The is a such thing as too much scenery. It is pretty boring and slow until you get further north.
Just FYI. I came back on other roads. I preferred that route.

Thanks for the reply. I totally get it as I have ridden the Trace several times by car. This trip will be more of a bonding trip with my son. Jackson to Tupelo if our rear ends can take it. Lol. Have a great day my brother.

I have a Honda Navi, which truthfully is a scooter. No clutch, which I want because of arthritis at times. I ride it around my community in Mississippi. Grandkids love to get on with me. My next purchase will be a Honda Trail 125. I have no ambition to get a cruiser. I'm 65 so starting way too late for that. My goal is to ride the Natchez Trace with my son up to Tupelo. No need for speed. Life's too short.

re: Thoughts on Niagen?

I think it is expensive. Otherwise never heard of it. But I will do some research.
That's a good idea, but, if the lower court follows the constitution and it is overturned by an activist appellate judge and he is overturned by the USSC, then what? Both have a point against them. Should only count if the Supreme Court agrees to hear case and it rules against whichever lower court.

re: Is Stephen A. Maga?

No. He is like that Anna from the Young Turks. It is stylish to sort of be MAGA. Both absolutely voted dem.

Did he give back the military bases' names?
It is about control of the Arctic and the Northern Passage plus all the untapped resources. The natives there want the U.S. to acquire as the Danes won't let them tap the resources.
Laying down instead of lying down.
