Sunday

Just some observation following my yesterday's visit to JFK Airport.

I does not matter what the economy does people are traveling. I went to see the departure area. There were lines at every single counter that were open. These people went to every corner of the earth. Single people, couples or larger families, they were all traveling.

Downstairs at the arrival area there was a continuous stream of people who just arrived to New York coming through the door. These people as well arrived from all parts of this Earth of ours.

Even though very likely there are no two people sitting an any given flight next to each other who happened to pay the same fare because of the various discounts still air travel is not inexpensive. But people still come and go.

My advice to anybody who still thinks that the economy is in bad shape, go out to any airport and watch the people as they are leaving or arriving and then make your own opinion.

Other thing.

Today was Sunday. Since yesterday I was at the airport, we decided to do Saturday's chores today. Bought gas, went to the supermarket and then we went out to eat.

This time we visited Freeport on Long Island which is famous for its seafood restaurants and its general nautical ambiance.

Unfortunately Superstorm Sandy caused enormous damages to the area and some of my favorite restaurants never opened up we were still able to find a nice place to eat. Right on the water, nice view, no crowd it was very pleasant.

We both had oysters, a nice Caesar salad and two large pots of mussels in wine sauce. It was really filling but not fattening.

Since I never saw a fat mussel I don't think they are fattening.
