New York Times (reg req): Worke rs Assail Night Lock-Ins by Wal-Mart. The reason for Mr. Rodriguez's delayed trip to the hospital was a little-known Wal-Mart policy: the lock-in. For more than 15 years, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, has locked in overnight employees at some of its Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores. It is a policy that many employees say has created disconcerting situations, such as when a worker in Indiana suffered a heart attack, when hurricanes hit in Florida and when workers' wives have gone into labor.

That may be the new bumper sticker of choice for an Alabama woman who says she got fired by her pro-Bush boss last Thursday for publicly supporting the Democratic candidate for president. The Decatur Daily reports that Lynne Gobbell, a worker at an Alabama insulation company called Enviromate, says she got axed for refusing to remove a Kerry-Edwards sticker displayed on the rear windshield of her Chevy Lumina. Her boss Phil Gaddis, a Decatur bankruptcy attorney and the owner of Enviromate, did not return the Daily's calls about the alleged firing, according to the report.

Bostonians might want to vote against
Kerry


Bostonians might want to vote against
Kerry
05/21/2004 09:59 PM

Generally there is no point in voting if you live in Massachusetts.  The Democrats always win the state regardless of what happens in other parts of the U.S.  People who live in Boston might want to consider voting against John Kerry, however, due to the massive negative impact that his election to the Presidency would have on our lifestyle.  Being a peasant in the presence of royalty was never enjoyable.  Ever since September 11th, however, American royalty has been running scared from terrorists and that has made them far more difficult guests in a city.

Check out an article in today's Boston Globe:  "Massive closing of roads set for convention week".  Most of the useful highways and tunnels in downtown Boston will be shut down for at least 8 hours per day during the week of the Democratic National Convention (July 26-29).  The 200,000 commoners who travel on Interstate 93 every day are being encouraged to take the week off.  It is tough to calculate the economic losses but one aspect can be comprehended by looking at the $15 billion that was recently spent on roadwork in central Boston.  At 5 percent annual interest that works out to $2 million per day.

If Kerry were to go to Washington, DC and work at his desk for 4 or 8 years that would be one thing.  But no doubt he will want to come home every couple of weekends to his fabulous mansions in downtown Boston and on Nantucket.  This will necessitate the closure of downtown Boston and Nantucket to the rest of us.  Of course the airspace for 30 nautical miles around Boston and Nantucket will also be closed, except to scheduled airlines and maybe the biggest corporate jets.  If President Kerry is running late back to Logan Airport commercial airliners will be kept waiting with the engines running for 1-2 hours (according to my airline pilot friends, this happens all the time with Bush and Cheney at airports around the U.S. but it hasn't affected Boston much because W. very seldom comes here).

One bright spot in a post-George W future:  all of the restrictions on travel and building in Crawford, Texas are going to lighten up so we Bostonians could move down there if things get too constrained up here.


We're ready to vote for John Kerry

We're ready to vote for John Kerry
now...

... if he'll let us fly his Boeing 757 for a couple of hours.  Taxiing off Runway 11 this evening at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts I noticed that Kerry's personal airliner had been updated with a "Kerry-Edwards" graphic.  The plane has always looked fabulous and though all of my pilot friends are terrified of Kerry winning (because of the inevitable airspace restrictions around New England that would ensue) those of us with multi-engine ratings have agreed that we would definitely vote for the man if he would let us fly his 757.

Speaking of Kerry, does anyone know where exactly in Massachusetts he is supposed to have grown up?  His official biography says that he "returned home" to Massachusetts but doesn't say anything about which town.  Given how different in character the towns of this state are, I'm surprised that they aren't more specific.  Anyone know?

[Flying down to the Eastern Shore of Maryland on Friday I got a good preview of what life will be like for New England pilots should Kerry be elected.  Flying over Connecticut on a magnetic heading of approximately 230 I was monitoring 121.5 megahertz, the standard emergency frequency.  I heard the following call "Aircraft heading 230 at an altitude of approximately 4200':  This is the U.S. Air Force.  You are in a restricted area and must immediately turn to a heading of 360 or you may be fired upon."  Note that the Air Force did not say where the plane was, not even which state.  I assumed that this was a puny Cessna somewhere near York, Pennsylvania where Kerry and Edwards were doing a tour but could not rule out the possibility that it was my plane.  I was at 8500' but the Garmin transponder in my airplane has a history of flakiness so conceivably it could have been telling Air Traffic Control that I was instead at 4200'.]
