And I still, I don't know what you're talking about.

You can see the runways from LAX from there.

99 is the Palo Verde Avenue.

There's two buildings and there's a parkade in between.

A little bird told me that, you know, they've rebuilt.

There's been just a massive rebuilding of the Hollywood Burbank Airport that for those of you that fly a lot and are savvy at all, Hollywood Burbank is a great alternative to LAX.

And I will say no more.

But what are you doing out at Hollywood Burbank starting next month?

Now, Mary Sue, before we run out of time, there's some fun news that's coming out of the Border Grill Empire because a little bird told me that You know, they've rebuilt.

Moved up to Sacramento in high school.

My dad is an airline pilot, so he got restationed from LAX, came up to Sacramento.

Actually, he was based out of San Francisco in like 2000, 1999, 2000.

Parents didn't want to move to the city.

I'm an aviation weather observer.

The morning that Kobe's helicopter crashed in the hills near the San Fernando Valley in the Los Angeles area, I was working up in the control tower at LAX monitoring those IFR conditions.

The ceiling was low, the visibility was down, and that was a factor in that crash, not the case yesterday across the San Fernando Valley.

The winds were generally light.

Yeah.

No pre-takeoff drink, then another drink, then another drink, then another drink.

Heck, when I was flying home, the only ticket that I could fly home to get to the event when we went to Pineapple Hill was a first-class ticket from Santa Fe to LAX, which was $200 because it's a two-hour flight.

I got my $200 worth in margaritas on that flight.

It's not at Union Station in LA anymore.

It's near LAX.

Okay.

It's, I think, the Westin Los Angeles Airport.

26 to one is all the way to the top.

Climb SoFi Stadium, which actually isn't that high, but it's right by LAX because they built it in the ground.

They did a very good thing.

Now, so that's the ladder we're going with.

Thank you, my dear.

The official story out of Sony Pictures Television is that longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer, Jim Thornton, got the boot after a passenger on a May American Airlines flight from Charlotte to LAX spotted him on his laptop in a chat room that markets itself as support for people with pedophilic thoughts, complete with on-screen chatter about cute boys and a hot little girl, and all-you-can-eat boyfay.

Law enforcement met the plane, talked to him for five minutes, and sent him on his way with no arrest or charges.

His lawyer insists he was just hunting suicide prevention resources after a family loss, got sent the wrong similar sounding URL, and bailed the second he realized what it was.
