With rising fuel prices (seems that everything starts off with that phrase these days), travel is becoming extremely ridiculous. Everyone already knows about American and United charging $15 each way for checked bags. By the way, they now have hired a new force of “Luggage Police” to monitor carry-on bags. But apparently that’s not enough to gouge passengers. Spirit airlines decided it’s not enough to charge passengers for a plane ticket, let’s charge them for an actual seat. $5 for the stinkin’ middle seat! Seriously!? And for all those people who have miles points credit cards, and frequent flyer miles, well, it’ll actually cost you $25-$50 to redeem your “free” flights. What will they think of next? Each passenger must weigh in upon check-in. Now pay an additional fee for fuel consumption per pound…oh wait. The bigger you are, the more air you breathe…we’ll charge for that too.
Ridiculous. I just want my free peanuts. Is that too much to ask? Apparently so.

Truman and Amber. You probably figured that out based on the address of the blog. But, hey, thanks for stopping by and reading up on what's been going on with our life, our ministry, and other random things.
