A common topic of discussion, is why did Professor Christine Blasey Ford she wait so long to report Judge Brett Kavanaugh? What was her motive?
What if she was your mother? your daughter? your sister? or another women?
Would you question her time or her motives?

Last weekend, the founder and CEO of The Abbey David Cooley, and his partner were told to move seats on an Alaska Airlines flight in order to make room for a straight couple,
The well-known gay businessman took to Facebook to discuss the incident. A flight attendant approached them and told his partner he’d have to move to the main cabin from their premium seats because a straight couple wanted to sit together—even though Cooley explained that they were a couple. Humiliated, they chose to exit the plane altogether.

A few years ago an Bus alternative to Greyhound entered the Sacramento market, Megabus with fares as low as $1.00 to Reno and San Francisco. The San Francisco leg is extremely popular. Giving Sacramentians a lower cost option for communters to the city. Last January, the company discontinued its Reno-Sparks route.
A new player is entering the market. German-based bus carrier FlixBus announced new destinations in California on Thursday, including Sacramento, San Francisco, Bakersfield, Oakland and San Jose.
Trips from Sacramento to Los Angeles are as low as $14.99. Some are $19.99. Trips the other way are at $19.99. Trips to San Francisco are just $4.99. They offer a route from L.A to Vegas for $7.00. Unlike,Megabus Flexbus will offer snacks on some of it’s routes.
Update: Fares for Thursday and Friday are closer to $40.
FlixBus, which began in Germany, expanded to the United States in May of this year and plans to a major player in Transpotation in United States. They plan to open in Stockton, Modesto, Merced Fresno.and Reno.
Buses are coming back, But think Amazon. No brick and morter stations. Booking and paying online. Book in advance and save? There prices are much lower on average than Greyhound and considerabley lower than the train. They offer Free WiFi and charging stations. Millennials seem to be the primary customer base .
The buses will be a true low cost alterative to the airlines. Megabus makes one stop between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Traveltime between Northern Cailfornia and Southern Cailfornia will be six to seven hours compared to a one hour flight. However once you factor, arrival time, security, travel time to the central city. (if your renting a car at LAX add an additional hour) the time difference is four hours.
I’ve expericed the MegaBus and loved it

How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm After they‘ve seen Paree was a popular song after World War 1.
With a many of the soldiers living in rural areas there was a concern that some wouldn’t want to return to life on the farm after seeing Paris.
One hundred miles northeast of Dallas lies Paris Texas, a small city of 25,000. It was once a major Railroad Hub with seven rail companies .
Photo: Google
In 97, Kevin Heubusch book “The New Rating Guide to Life in America’s Small Cities”, he said Paris was the best small town in Texas.
The city has quite a history. It was destroyed by fire several times.(that’s more than once👀)
It has a very contentious history with its black community.
St. Paul Baptist Church – Founded in 1867 by former slave Elijah Barnes, it was among independent black Baptist congregations which freedmen quickly set up after the Civil War. Most of them left the Southern Baptist Convention, creating their own associations. This is registered at the state and federal level as the second-oldest African-American Baptist church in the state.
There are many local attractions in around Paris. If your visiting the Dallas area , Paris might a good one day trip. And at the end of the day you CAN SAY, (wait for it)
You’ve been to Paris.

Killer Diller Low Airfares are coming to Sacramentio
After a five year absence Frontier Airlines is returning to Sacramento International August 1. With four week daily flights to Denver and Las Vegas beginning August 12th.
When Frontier left Sacramento, they were a discount Airline, similar to Southwest.
What is returning is a different airline an “Ultra Discount Carrier” their fares are almost much lower than Southwest. The trade off is. Everything thing else is extra and they can add up quickly. Bring any backpack or carry on is $30. If you don’t prepay there could be a five to ten dollar surcharge. In fact you may find surcharges on anything isn’t paid for in advance.
Most people aren’t prepared for Spirit or Frontier. That’s why they along with Allegiant have the most customers complaints of nearly all the other Airlines. Prepare yourself for non reclining hard seats. With small tray tables. If you over 5 10 Its gonna be tight. If you are a wide body. It could be complete agony as the seats are smaller. Frontier is bare bones. Its gonna be crowded and uncomfortable. However if you pack light and prepare yourself for angry co passengers. The low, low, low fares might be worth it. I know someone who flys Frontier exclusively. She understands the culture and takes advantage of the airlines super low prices.
This was my expericece in 2016 Click the Link Below for the full story.

Frontier is based in Denver, from Denver you can fly nearly anywhere in the country.
$49.00 to Denver or Las Vegas? Sacramento says hello!

For years, flying out of Sacramento International was simple. There was no reason to show up a couple of hours ahead. The traffic WAS minimal. Well that was so 2016.
For years, there were few non stops east of Denver. Today there are non stops to Charlotte, Orlando, Newark and Houston. Southwest plans non stops to New Orleans and Alaska just announced a flight between Sac and Kona Hawaii, this winter. The result is more traffic . .
More than a million travelers flew in and out of Sacramento in May. Air Canada returned to SMF with flights to Vancouver. Frontier returns in August .
If you have a flight that depart before 6:45am leave early,. With only two northbound lanes on I-5 the traffic backup begin about 4:30am. Sometimes beyond the 99 split. over three miles from the airport.
Once in the airport, parking and shuttle are very efficient. However, if you are traveling through terminal A, (which is currently under constructuion) again plan ahead. The Terminal was constructed before 9/11 and the early morning security lines are the longest in the airport with lines often backing up over the bridge that connects the terminal with the parking garage.
A fix is on the way, and should be completed by next year. The airport has advised early morning travelers on United, American, Delta to arrive two hours ahead.
Travelers with flights departing between 8am and 6pm should not have any delays, with security waits average less than 20 minutes*
Sacramento International Airport remains one of the easiest airport to travel in and out .
The current bottle neck is an easy fix by simply increasing the number of lanes entering the airport from one to two.
