"Skywatch" (my third) -- Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?


[large picture] [super size]

Of course, the Jim Bunch eats, wherever they may be, at home, in town, on the road, or like here, in the air.

This is Continental Airline's snack. If this is a snack, my definition of a meal may change. We had crackers with peppercorn Parmesan cheese and beef salami, a bag of tail mix (I pulled the peanuts out for Mrs. Jim), a bag of M&M candy, and a whole can of Diet Coke.

Then there was another Diet Coke (my fave soft drink) and two cups of coffee for after dinner time, and an ample supply of water for my meds.
.

I read my Blogstock '08 book, made by Ralph, from cover to cover while in-flight. Here I am reading Ralph's bio, it is most interesting, especially after meeting him and Mrs. Ralph.

Note also that I had my GPS on continuously when the all clear for electronic gadgets was announced. This picture was taken while we were over Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.

I like to look at the sky views and the different clouds. I took a lot of pictures, these beauties were to be found over the Houston area. (Go here to see where we've been.)

  1. You need not say anymore - I once flew with Continental fro Newark to SF and they tried to swindle me for $15 when I bought a mini-bottle or red wine.

    And, BTW - the "Sky wing" was great!

  4. Wonderful shot Jim, the clouds are very unusual, or at least to me but I have not flown much.

    Have a brilliant weekend.

  11. Hi Jim, TGIF!

    re: your remarks about walking to Target; I would probably be mowed down. That particular stretch of road is not pedestrian or even cyclist friendly. No path/sidewalk, and the boulevard is 50 mph between traffic lights. I'm safer in the car, even though it does nothing for my carbon footprint.

    Lovely skywatch, even better snack! :D

  17. Sigh... air travel is so going downhill rapidly. Exhorbitant prices for so called snacks and charging for the first bag? Sigh...

    Still... seeing those clouds outside your window is very soothing.
