As I mentioned before, I went to Colorado just a few weeks ago.\u00a0I always have paperwork to keep me occupied on the plane. Also, I bring both my current audible mystery and my “real book” mystery with me. (This time I had my current Monica Ferris<\/a> “real book” and my Alexander McCall Smith<\/a> audible book.) But, as usual, even though I have plenty of things to keep me busy, I looked through Southwest Airlines’ monthly magazine.<\/p>\n

Being the Easter month, the magazine’s focus was on the “Still Incredible” egg. (Remember the old television ads: “The incredible, edible egg.”?) Although I wasn’t at all interested in finding out more about eggs, here’s a glimpse of what I found interesting in the magazine:<\/p>\n

1) Hmmm… Do blond-haired women really earn 7% more money than non-blond women, or were all 20,000 of the USA women who Australia’s Queensland University of Technology studied successful actresses, models, and other entertainment-oriented professionals? (Don’t even get me started on our society’s idiotic monetary measure of what entertainment professions are worth!)<\/p>\n

2) Did Kellogg cereal’s founder really invent peanut butter?<\/p>\n

3) Adam Hunter makes some interesting points >>> Our society is surely becoming less social! When was the last time you watched a movie in a theater with friends VS at home, possibly in your pajamas?<\/p>\n

4) The Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery is giving Hooters a run for their money >>> even with the substantial savings in fabric for their “very healthy looking” waitresses’ uniforms!<\/p>\n

5) Yipee! Flying so early in the month means that all four of the Sudoku puzzles are empty and available!<\/p>\n

6.)\u00a0How neat is this? A “What’s wrong with this picture?” called “Hogwarts Shuffle” – beautifully illustrated by JJ Rudisill. Something for children whose parents didn’t pack a fun “to do at airport & on plane” backpack. I sure am glad I have mine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
