today i had the pleasure of picking up the university of memphis football team at the airport. kinda ironic based on my last post about "you can't make this stuff up" because when we do sports team pickups, we drive thru secure gates right on the tarmac right under the plane!!!
anyway, when we got there, we pulled up beside a navy trainer (a T4?) and i wanted to take some pics. my camera is always in my backpack but i have been taking a lot of pics at home posting most on facebook. it was not there. so, i used my phone. i don't care how good the phone, phone pics suck, at best. shot several pics, kicked myself in the butt.
we had a police escort to their hotel. police escorts are very cool. you don't slow down, they are usually high speed, and exciting to say the least. a pic would have been nice. kicked self in butt, again.
after the hotel, we got another escort to neyland stadium. not only TO neyland stadium, we parked UNDER neyland stadium. very cool. kicked myself again. once unloaded, we reset our buses (sorry, there were 3 of us). soon, i realized not only were we under the stadium, we were at field level. a 50 yard walk and i was standing in the south end zone!!! very cool. kicked myself again. walked around the field, looking UP at the seats. very cool. kicked myself again. they finished their workout and another police escort back to their hotel. during these escorts, we don't stop. traffic is stopped for us at all intersections. i have been in dozens of them and it never gets old. i just wish i had my camera. and, my butt hurts.
after some down time, we ate and drove them to a movie. while sitting there waiting i pulled out my laptop. when i opened my computer bag, guess what i found?
i am still kicking myself. hard!!!
until next time... yes, i put my camera back in my backpack where it should have been to begin with!!!
