    Anybody remember these prices?

    Loved eating there growing up!

    Ha I was in a TV commercial for Big Boy when I was a boy. 1978 ;)

    It is my understanding that the Big Boy set in my cousin's classic vehicle museum came from the Big Boy eatery that was once located in the Las Vegas location known as Sam's Town.

    We had a What-A-Burger instead of Big Boy. But I did see those when I went out west or south.
    Ate a lot of what-a-burgers!!

    The video of the guy botching a robbery by dropping his gun and running out of the building is sad.

    First the guy fumbles his gun and drops it on the counter only to see it fall to the floor behind the counter.

    Second the guy fails in his attempt to jump over the counter to retrieve his gun.

    Third the guy panics and runs away.

    Fourth, while running away the guys jumps and kicks the door open, resulting in his pants dropping to his knees and him having to reach down to pull his pants up before he trips and falls with his pants around his ankles.

    Fifth, the guy is wearing a sweatshirt with the emblem of my favorite football team, the Denver Broncos; and is wearing a baseball cap with the emblem of the Houston Rockets on it (Oh the shame of it all; hopefully the Bronco sweatshirt was borrowed from his roommate and he is a die hard Rockets fan!!!!!! :s ).

    Sixth, the establishment he is trying to rob does not look like one where there is a large amount of cash available to the robber.

    Fun observations. Given the litany of events you have chronicled have to question whether the video itself was staged. The one thing I found odd was that the clerk didn't aim the gun at the suspect after she picked it up.

    Amsterdam

    Empty business class flight, Narita to Hong Kong

    Thanks for sharing. I have been in both the Amsterdam and Narita airports in recent years and well recognize the photgraphed locations. In fact I was at Narita just months ago and walked up and down that sidewalk trying to locate the shuttle bus boarding spot for my hotel.

    Remember the Shoe Bomber? There was a guy who looked just like him who was denied boarding at the departure gate when I flew the same route out of Amsterdam to Detroit just a few months prior when I boarded on the same airline and flight number. (In Amsterdam one goes through a second security screening right at the departure gate.)

    Bye the time she had the gun in her hand he was already running away.

    Obviously her employer didn't provide weapons training. She had no way to know if the perp was going to turn back around or if there was an accomplice. That said it is probably moot as more likely than not it was staged based on Sanction II's chronicling.

    In most locales it's illegal to shoot a fleeing criminal in the back when he's running away from you. She did the right thing.

    No suggestion made that the gun should have been fired while the perp was turned. The point being that a trained person would have instinctively pointed the gun at the threat in the event he turned around or there was an accomplice coming toward her.

    I can agree with this. Hopefully they got some prints off the gun and the perp has been arrested although they would probably release him on his own recognizance.

    It would probably be a violation of the perp's constitutional, statutory, common law and/or regulatory rights and privileges to place him into custody at all, given the chance that he could come down with Covid19 if he was placed into a crowded jail.

    Certainly would not want that.

    Excellent video. It's really compelling. AND that music is killer. Thanks. CAW

    Sad to see......I have an airway route (13,000 ft) going into O’Hare over my house and it would be non stop aircraft 24-7 and I hardly see anything anymore.
    Saddens me to say this could easily go well into 2021.

    I can walk at any time but I have to stick it out to at least August when I hit 25 years of service to earn my full retirement.

    In some of our layover cities around the globe we cannot leave our hotel room for the duration of our stay. In essence we fly from one 'exotic' hotel-jail to the next.

    I'm ready.

    renman95 is the nicest guy to ever post on the net.

    He never comes close to getting into e-battles.

    He is very religious and dislikes no one.

    Only one person I have seen upset him- Glicker.

    Does that answer your question?

    No.

    There are literally Mexican restaurants small and large on every corner in San Diego, So awesome!!!! :p:p:p

    There are two tortilla factories within 5 miles from my house.

    We make our own Mexican meat dishes at home and just buy the rice, beans and super fresh tortillas.
