Surprise, the LA Times misses the mark!

The travel industry gets blind-sided by a huge increase in travel and all the LA Times can say is something like, "wow, this in light of the hatred of Americans and the danger of traveling abroad."

Maybe it is pent-up demand, they say. Maybe this, maybe that. Amazing.

It is very simple. People are traveling for one reason: they think the economy is strong.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
