I was walking through the wall the other day (because I just don’t have the patience to go around anymore) when it suddenly occurred to me that I’ve never been to The Grand Canyon. I mean, is it really all that and a bag of chips anyway? I’m just wondering because if it’s even a small handful of awesome, I should check it out prior to a lifetime sentence in prison, right?
Actually, the real reason I called this meeting today was to show you which seat NOT to choose on a US Airways flight.
27A.
Write that down.
I’m not kidding.
Here’s me in 27A from Mexico to Phoenix a few weeks ago.
Four hours of knee-crushing fun. And that’s not all. As an added bonus, you also enjoy no storage underneath the seat in front of you AAAAAAAND….
That’s right, I had my pick of all three seats in that row and I said “I will take the window seat, please.”
So you get lots of wonderful features in seat 27A, and for some reason, they don’t charge you a premium or anything for it. You pay the same price as everyone else around you.
How did I let this happen? Easy. Because I’m stupid. When I initially purchased the ticket, they let me pick my seat for all segments except this one: the one from Mexico to Phoenix. And then, not only was I unable to select a seat for that segment until 3 hours before my flight, but there were only 5 seats left to choose from and Row 27 was wiiiiiiiiiiide open.
And I picked the knee-squashing, viewless, hold everything in your lap, window seat.

John (J. Bear) Savo is a fellow blogger I met a long time ago when I first started blogging. I think we met in one of those Humor Blogging groups. Then he switched his blog to All Auctions All The Time to fit his occupation in real life. I wondered why he did that. Was he going for some “focus” or something?
Anyway, it paid off because now he has a show called Auction Packed that premieres on the NatGeo Channel on Friday, February 11. The first two episodes premiere at 9 and 10pm EST. Woo Hoo! Congrats to the Savo Auctioneers!
Also? He’s returning to his personal blogging roots with a new blog called Speltr
