It was maybe 15 minutes the last time (late March) I went through, and they were very quick to add agents. Maybe it was just the combination of being late and arriving at the same time as other flights? The need to show your QR Code *does* add to the aggravation.<br /><br />I travel to Rota once or twice a year.

They normally speak first and so have influence in framing the discussion. Although the chief justice votes first—the court votes in order of seniority—they may strategically pass in order to ensure membership in the majority if desired. It is reported that:<br /><br />Chief Justice Warren Burger was renowned, and even vilified in some quarters, for voting strategically during conference discussions on the Supreme Court in order to control the Court's agenda through opinion assignment. Indeed, Burger is said to have often changed votes to join the majority coalition, cast "phony votes" by voting against his preferred position, and declined to express a position at conference.<br /><br />Above Sounds familiar: <br />... and this from blue state conservative<br /><br />The leaked draft dates back to February, written by Justice Samuel Alito, strongly hints at an overturning of the flawed 1973 decision of Roe. He was joined by Justices Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Coney Barrett. >>>Unknown was where the spineless John Roberts stood.<br /><br />There were a few other opines on the net that informed my opinon, most are hard to find now, as most all the new stories, seem to be the "clutching of pearls variety'...<br />My guess at this point, is that CJ Roberts, found a way to get the 'Rats to overreact early, before the "long hot summer" is upon US, and more sale~able riotus schemes <br />become available for the Slugs n'Punks in the Blue State Cities, beyond DC, IMHO~~~<br />OW ~~~<br />P.S.

The fun part was being part of the crowd that the airline was trying to find hotel rooms for because that fully-loaded 747 was NOT going to be departing that evening. The mound of luggage in the lobby of the hotel that we ended up at reached the ceiling. But everything got sorted and we ended up having a pretty good time. <br />We had driven up to Madrid from Rota where I had been part of a team doing upgrades on some Spanish Navy frigates.

Mi Amigo!<br />And, through a glass darkly, to boot~~~ Amen<br /><br />Hadn't thought about the Generalissimo much<br />over the last 60 years...or so...I stopped to reflect<br />a bit with Dip's mention, and your exclamation?!!!<br />JK, Think, it knocked an old screw loose up topside,<br /><br />~~~found myself flashing back in time, I MEAN IT! <br />Back to 1962 on my 1st Submarine Cruise to the Med~~~just a boy, let loose to wander in Paradise...<br />Thinking, it might take me a month to recall what I,<br />saw, heard, and viserally experienced on that Liberty<br />Call~~~ But I'm sticking with Franco, till I get it out,<br />Jeeze now I'm thinking about 'implimenest' that um<br /> rewiting on an old tablet, that Dip mentioned in his<br /> last post....so here I am, looking back through those '60era<br />eyes and memories of bygone things written and said, for<br />me to function, and survive in this strange new place that<br />I find myself navigating thru... recall reading a document <br />given to Ships Company, at Morning Quarters, not sure of the author/s, but I do remember reading it, a collection of<br />do's,& don'ts whilst a, stranger in this strange land, in order to aid US Sailors make it back to the Boat on time, and be both physically and mentally ready, to shove off as ordered.<br /><br />Well I was ready to hit the beach, nearly all the Liberty section- crew members, had decided to hit the nearest Bar, but my plan was to find out where the Bull-Fights were held!? So off I went on my own, half-inebreated by the views, voices, sounds & smells etc etc etc eventually I did connect with an Older Spanish Guy, who told me I'd be wise to take a Cab out to the Bull Rings, as some of the neighbors weren't too friendly toward sailors...he told me where the Taxistand was and I hoofed it over there, had to wait awhile,<br />but soon enough a Cab showed up--and opened the back door, in the littlest car I had ever Seen. He was friendly enough but man, he could chat it up, like he was my best buddy... I began to sense I was being taken for a ride, and the meter kept clicking away... a few more round-abouts and I remembered that going-ashore booklet had warned of Taxi drivers gouging Americans -- it sugessted, 'get the Name & Licence number' of the driver first, than pay him what he wanted... Ch-ching<br />Just about then we pulled up to the Gate at the Bull Fights,<br />Can't remember exactly how many Pesos or Pesadas he wanted, but when I asked him politely for his info, he went WHITE! Said no problemo, or so and that the "ride was free for NAVY men, goodbye." I took the hint and bailed out, into a cloud of dust~~~ I swear by my Tattoo~~~Confirmed later, Franco had a heavyhand & Jail time for thieves~~~ <br />On Watch~~~<br />PS Felt bad about not Paying him for what <br />he earned, but he didn't want to negotiate...<br /><br />"Let's Roll"<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-87940286723472475612022-05-06T18:03:15.453-04:002022-05-06T18:03:15.453-04:00I was in Madrid 12 years ago.

You could do worse and be colonized by France or Belgium. <br />I find that the abortion stand of the left is using the same double standards that they apply to everything. The second amendment is a specific enumerated right, and yet the left has absolutely no qualms about regulating the ownership of firearms as much as possible and really wants prohibition, but that pesky 2nd keeps interfering in allowing that to happen. Now I ask them, “Well you are just fine regulating firearms, but you are opposed to regulating abortions”. Why yes, they will respond. “Well, why do you feel it is necessary to regulate firearms?” Because they are used to kill people, is the replay. “Oh, so abortion is not the same?”<br /><br />Salvorhardinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264616398711474819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-17172728741717621432022-05-06T11:29:13.734-04:002022-05-06T11:29:13.734-04:00Dear G-d.
