Early on the morning of July 4th I took the bride to JFK. The traffic was a piece of cake at 6 a.m. The bride, some cousins and girlfriends were off on JetBlue to San Francisco where the insane lefty government now permits all the many of thousands of homeless people to shit on a sidewalk. I was last there as a 20-year-old Marine back in '68 and at least back then the Hippies had a crash pad with a roof to do their drugs and spread their STDs.

The wife's cruise is making a stop in Canada before making some stops in Alaska. Up in Alaska the temps are forecast to be be in the 80s and getting near 90 just off the southern coast. The wife loves to travel and cruise. My one-mile drive to ShopRite in the morning for a warm muffin is all the distance I want to travel now.
