Once again, nobody in my family will tell me what they want for Christmas.
This is why I do most of my Christmas shopping at a road side nut packing house.

Especially Venezuela's crappy oil. Their is oil so thick it won't flow through pipes without adding naphtha. Just trash grade oil.

Just don't ask if that airport is LAX. LAX is a bridge too far.
Picking up and dropping off the people you care about at the airport is a hassle—but it’s the ultimate act of service, wrote columnist Dawn Gilbertson in 2023.
“If I’m free, I’ll bring anyone to the airport, including my former husband.”

This is why I won't fly out of LAX on any flight later than 0730.
I won't schedule a flight that lands at LAX between 1300 and 1800. It's just not worth the pain.
Use some other airport.
