While on an airplane the other day I found comfort in the fact that my government was looking out for me. The high price of jet fuel spurred new Federal Aviation Authority guidelines, including, and I quote, "Airlines must carry enough fuel to fly to their destination airport."
Whew, now I feel better! At least now I know they won't try to save a few bucks by going all the way to "E" on the fuel gauge and then gliding in.
Give that bureaucrat the no-shxx Sherlock award.

Feast of of the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
Moses at Mount Sinai Jacques de Letin1597 – 1661
From the Exodus
Early in the morning Moses went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him, taking along the two stone tablets.
Having come down in a cloud, the LORD stood with Moses there and proclaimed his name, "LORD." Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out,
"The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity."
Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship. Then he said, "If I find favor with you, O Lord,do come along in our company. This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins, and receive us as your own."
