SAN DIEGO – Quick tip for those of you flying into Denver:
Get in, sit down, shut up and hang on.
Mrs. Venomous & I went the cheapy econo-route, hitting up Frontier Airlines to take us to sunny San Diego, Californication CA, with a quick stop in Denver along the way.
The leg to DEN wasn’t too bad – until we went to land.  Caught a crosswind (they called it wind shear, but I swear to Cthulu the plane was coming in at a diagonal) and had to abort, power back up and go around.  (Second attempt wasn’t a breeze, either, but they got the thing down in one piece, at least.)  One half-hour layover, one bone-rattling takeoff and two-plus hours later, we were in SD picking up a 2010 Mustang convertible and tooling about.
Climate here is bad-assed.  Remember the old saying – “if it’s good, it’s ‘climate’; if it’s bad, it’s ‘weather'”? Well, we got hellacious climate out here – sunny skies and mid-60s the week before Memorial Day, fer crying out loud.  By comparison, Realm™ headquarters is baking with 90s and 40,000% humidity.
If it weren’t for the fucking socialists running this state, a girlie-man Governator™ who lets ’em have they they want and the whole place Going To Hell In A Handbasket™, I’d be sorely tempted to stay.
As it is, the concrete slab that the Ramada has for a bed out here will likely force me back in a couple days or so.  See y’all then.

Glad to hear that your flight didn’t become part of Lost: The Next Generation.
(Yeah, planes don’t generally crash in the Pacific while trying to land in Denver, but on Lost anything is possible.)
