control and out of control celebrations

So these guys go to Vegas and party intensely. No reports of sex. Their job is to control spending by government agencies. These other guys go with the president to Colombia and invite?  prostitutes. Lots of them.  And then negotiate payments. Or even don't want to pay. Their jobs is to control access and security. Who is more to blame?  Those who spend public money? Or those who don't pay prostitutes? trying to save their own money?

Landing in the wake

Twenty years ago I stared to play Flight Simulator. Don't think I ever got to maneuver a proper landing  in the game's airport. And now I see this 80 year wife who lands seating next to her probably dead husband. She never had  landed before. But most surprising is that she was kind of joking - You don't trust me. Mama, no wake?

Before coffee

Long lines at Starbucks. Every morning. And this young cashier smiles all the time, everyday. Seems to me unbelievable. Even before taking the caffeine everybody is agitated. What a nice personality. Or is this smile a self defense. Trying to please the hurried newyorkers.
