While there, I attended an NBA game at the Staples Center between Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz. I was there with a group from work and it was a lot of fun. We had a suite and about 20 people in there. Definitely a fun experience!

Here are some of the pics I took.

Interesting tidbits about the Marines who stand sentry outside the West Wing. For example, I didn’t know that there are only 4 of them and they work in 30-minute shifts (30 min on, 30 min off) anytime the President is in the West Wing.

Having served myself in the Army, I’m definitely proud and appreciative of our Armed Forces.

Bring Your Empty Bottle! http://angelmartinezjr.com/2009/12/27/flying-bring-your-empty-bottle/ http://angelmartinezjr.com/2009/12/27/flying-bring-your-empty-bottle/#comments Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:53:50 +0000 Angel Martinez http://angelmartinezjr.com/?p=340 Unless you’re living under a rock, you know about the Nigerian psycho who tried to set off explosives aboard an international flight from Amsterdam to Detroit earlier this week. As a result, TSA regulations now restrict the use of electronics on US-bound international flights and also prohibits anyone from leaving their seats for the last hour of the flight. Yes, you read this right, you cannot leave your seat at all. Nature’s call? Tough luck big man (or woman), hold it!!!!

Now, I ask how exactly is this ridiculous rule keeping us any safer?

From an LA Times article:

The new guidelines limit on-board activities by passengers and crew members while in U.S. airspace. Among other things, passengers must remain in their seats during the last hour of flight and cannot have access to their carry-on items or place any personal belongings in their laps.

There you have it…..bring an empty bottle so you can relieve yourself to the astonishment of your seat neighbor in the event you have to pee and can’t hold it! Definitely puts a different perspective on international travel.

Well, it has rained so much in New England during May and June that I’m wondering how much more rain we’re going to get. It is now July and it still seems the rain won’t let up.
