Shrinking seats , Rising Rage

No ,the TorStar didn't exactly print that Headline
But
all the pieces were there
To wit , our bums are getting bigger ( over 30 yrs , the average is up a bit ) , the seats are getting narrower ( a bit )
And incidents of upset and possibly violent passengers is increasing
For a short haul flight , 160 seats , economy was the average - now , some planes come equipped with 180 - 5 seats and discount carriers are in the 190 range
On our Fla flight , we had a seat mate who easily filled the seat and a bit more. He found a seat across the aisle and switched

The weather is cooler but sunny and a little cloudy. Rain is coming over the next few days - off and on.

On the organizational front. Yesterday , in a fit of ......... need to do
I took the electrical power bars and placed them on the desk upright ends. This move meant that the upside down garbage can that supported the bars could go. There is now room under the desk for more stuff................ KIDDING , we'll keep it clear.

Well, the boys of JHU , took control of a game and never let up.
The BJs beat Michigan in the conference portion of their schedule
This win gave the BJs 3 rd place at least and a position in the BIG 10 championship. JHU has done what was needed , they are 3 - 1 in conference play.
Left to do ? Beat # 4 Maryland , maybe twice , to reach the play - offs for the National championship week end. Normally ,the Black and Blue would be looking to achieve a winning record and beat quality opponents. Their schedule in the past was loaded w/ top 20 teams. This year , the BJs have lost to , Towson , Virginia , Syracuse , Princeton , N Carolina and Ohio St. These 6 are play - off bound , for the most part.
Md is next week in BIG 10 play. Then , the BIG 10 play - offs in College Pk , Md.
Heady times , I think
Go Jays

Ah , to -day , ideas are running around inside my head
We shall see and I'm no Zen Master

Good Day
