I'm not sure how many of you are aware of the sale of Milwaukee's hometown airline, Midwest Airlines (formally Midwest Express). I'm sure even less of you care. However, as someone who has been brand loyal to Midwest Express/Airlines for some very specific reasons, I'm more than a little upset at Republic Airways Holdings, Inc's announcements regarding what they are doing to my favorite way to fly. It's no big secret that I'm a nervous flyer. I don't like small, enclosed spaces. I don't like being forced to share an armrest with a stranger who hasn't showered in weeks .. or worse, took a bath in their scent of choice.
I hate that I'm not allowed drive the plane, or influence it's operation in any way. (control issues? yea .. ) In general, I don't think that being packed into a small, metal tube with the unwashed masses, hurling through the atmosphere at hundreds of miles an hour about 3-5 miles above the nearest patch of terra firma with zero control over what happens, is a pleasant experience - which is why I loved Midwest Airlines. The two across leather seats were comfortable. I appreciated not having to squirm around a narrow seat, trying to get comfortable on fabric that left me scratchy and covered in a rash (why, oh why, do airlines insist on using the cheapest of wool blends for their seats?). I liked that they gave a bit more than a token amount of leg room. As a tall girl, I appreciate not having my knees jammed into the seat in front of me. The wide arm rest was also appreciated - especially since each passenger had their own and you didn't have to touch the person next to you at all. The smell of the chocolate chip cookies, baked on board the plane, was both delicious and calming .. and somehow always able to overpower the stench of "too many people packed into too small a space". The cookies themselves are tasty - but the smell of them cooking .. that was the real benefit. Too bad those planes are going away. The last Boeing 717 landed this week .. and Republic Airways Holdings, Inc will be putting in smaller planes on the Midwest routes. Gone are the 2 across leather seating. Gone is the comfort. Gone are the fresh baked, warm chocolate chip cookes. Gone is my loyalty to them. If I am not going to get any better treatment from Midwest than I am getting from Air Tran or Southwest or Skyway - then my brand loyalty is going to get tossed out the window. I will no longer go out of my way to book a Midwest flight because they have taken away every reason that I always tried to fly with them. If I'm going to be squished in like a sardine so that the bean counters at Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. can mark down a few pennies more in profit, taking away everything that made flying Midwest a different experience than flying any other airline - then I'm going to treat them like any other airline. I've always been willing to pay for the extra service I got on Midwest .. take away the extra service and there's nothing to pay extra for. Sorry, Republic Airways Holding, Inc. You've lost my loyalty - and that of a lot of other people angry at they way you've stripped our hometown airline of everything that made it special.

A great market located on sam allen rd in plant city florida. Corey and I, and the farmers, all biked to the market and back this morning. It was great! The farmers took the lead on their fancy electric bicycles, and we had a great sunny ride.
Since shopping, i have been frantically working for riverhawk this weekend. Corey and I are vending our amazing wares, and we are forced to make more hemp all weekend, by me, cus we have NONE!!
I have sewn some great skirts, and am now about to list one on etsy, it is pretty hot :)

Summoning spirits is pretty fucking rude. Would you want to be awakened by some random jackass at 6am for shits and giggles? I didn't think so. If the dead want to talk to you, they will find a way to get their message through. Otherwise, have some consideration and lay off the Ouija board, you jerk.
