Fun Things Heard on Channel 9

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on February 25, 2009 in: Travel | Tags: , , , , , ,

Channel 9 is the channel some airlines provide to their passengers with other in-flight audio programming. On this channel you can listen in on the pilots’ radio communication with the control towers.

Most of the time, this chatter is just routine directions given to the pilot by air traffic controllers. Occasionally, less boring conversation can be heard.

That’s what today’s Thread of The Day at FlyerTalk.com is for:

A person fighting alcoholism confesses she has started drinking again. She feels she has let everybody down at the SoberRecovery.com forum.

The other members quickly offer their love and support.

It’s great to see people come together to help one another in times of need.

May God bless “Nickishine”  in these difficult times.  She may not realize it now, but her bravery is encouraging to many other people battling addiction.

Warzone in Cancun

Violence has been escalating in Mexico in recent years. There are rival drug cartels battling each other for territory, and the government is fighting to stop it.

Border towns like Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez have been the hardest hit by this war. It seems there are executions almost daily, including beheaded bodies left on the street, and barrels of acid left on sidewalks with bodies in them. The gangs are sending their messages loud and clear. Stay out of their way.

The police are sometimes part of the problem and many officers are on the cartels’ payroll.  The ones that aren’t are often found dead.

Fortunately for sunseeking tourists, the drug war has mostly spared Cancun. Unfortunately, this immunity may be ending.

The mayor of Cancun, Gregorio Sanchez,  recently hired a retiring general, Mauro Enrique Tello, to assemble a task force for keeping gang activity under control.

Somebody did not like this idea at all. The first day on the job, General Tello, his bodyguard, and driver were all kidnapped, tortured and executed.

The Cancun police are suspected of being involved. Mexican Army troops quickly seized the Cancun police station and arrested it’s chief, Francisco Velasco Delgado, and other officers. The military is now in charge of policing this mega-resort city and their presence is highly visible. Heavily armed, masked soldiers are everywhere which understandably may make some tourists uncomfortable.

Today’s Thread of the Day is at TripAdvisor.com where Cancun lovers discuss these latest developments.

I believe as long as you are not involved with disrupting the drug trade, or a member of a cartel encroaching on another’s territory, so far Cancun is just as safe as most of our hometowns.

But….

Things can change quickly and this bears watching, especially if you have a trip booked to that area in a few months like I do. Let’s hope this situation gets better before it gets worse.

Mustard on Ribs

Mustard on Ribs

Writing this post is making my stomach growl. I think the forum should hold a rib cook-off and let ThreadOfTheDay.com be one of the judges.
