with sometime commenter and serial moper Redbone tonight. He’s flying a Super Decathlon cross country, and stopped in at Lansing airport for an overnight before moving west and north.

As you may have noticed from comments, Redbone is an asshole. A bigger asshole than you can imagine. SO i liked him just fine. Partner and I met him at Shannon’s for some chips and brew, and it didn’t dawn on me until just a moment ago that he might need something to eat beyond that. Sorry, dude. By now I figure you’ve discovered that your hotel is surrounded by good restaurants. . I’m picking him up in the AM and taking him back from the hotel to his plane. Anyway, Partner said “he fits right in. He yells and laughs and holds his own”. Which of course, is true.

Factual data, on the other hand… lets just say he bases his worldview on his feelings about how things should be.

Well, he’s young. Maybe he’ll figure it out. Nice to meet you, Bone. Safe journey and safe home again, and don’t piss off any grizzlies.

Oh, and Bone? Read a bit about Malthus. Overpopulation hysteria is just that. Always has been, always will be. You gotta get away from those morons on the coast. Because populous places have the most problems does not mean they are cauised by them, you need to understand the concept of “post hoc ergo propter hoc”
