Travel by air

    Remember when travel by air was a big thing?  My parents won a trip and flew from Minnesota to California in the late 50s or early 60s.  My uncle took movies of their loading and the takeoff.  Mom wore a dress.  Dad wore a suit.  It was a big deal to fly.
     Today?   Not so much .   Today almost anything goes.  Shorts, flip-flops, sweatshirts, of course jeans.   But when you think of it, why not?
   You stand in lines.  At the ticket counter.  At the TSA check point.  At the loading chute.   Might as well be comfortably dressed.
   And then there's the plane.  Have you ever seen the livestock trailers hauling cattle or sheep?  Notice how crammed together they are?   Commercial air travel has a lot a similarities.
   To top it off, the airlines feel free to charge you for almost everything.  Sun Country Airlines charges for bandage whether it's carry on or stowed.  Plus, you pay $7 to $15 for the seat, un comfortable as it is, depending upon the proximity to the front of the plane.   Can you believe it?
   Where's my car?
