- Hawaii lawmakers consider banning peer-to-peer car rentals amid overtourism concerns (HT: Jonathan W)
- I recently wrote about up to 7000 miles for joining Qatar Airways Privilege Club including 2000 miles just for the signup. Turns out they’re now up to 2500 miles just for the sign up. They have good award redemptions for their own flights without fuel surcharges and they’re a Citi transfer partner. Trust me you’ll look back and wish you’d done this for each member of your family
- BWI airport could introduce gambling, slot machines
Maskalorian to passenger: “Would you like a mask?
Passenger to Maskalorian: “No, but I would like my pre-departure adult beverage.”
Most flights already like the “Cantina Scene” in Star Wars

Ah yes, sharing that virus theatre to all the covid cultists. End the mask nonsense!
Lot’s of anti-mask fools in the comments this morning. Now that I’m fully vaccinated, I don’t wear one any more. But, thanks @James, @Breathe Free and @drrichard for helping to keep the virus going. Morons to the left of me, morons to the right, but here I am stuck in the middle vaccinated and breathing easy.
This is the way.
Wiley Dog, a “moron” who clearly hasn’t figured it out. He’s giving Rip Van Winkle a run for his money.

Considering it’s coming from you, the moron is Jimmy, who died a long time before the Ripper.
More gambling!
