I&#8217;d make hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, nachos, Frito-chili pies, and other snack items. I&#8217;d sell chips, gum, candy, cigarettes and canned sodas. I did this once or twice a week for about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, when I flew from Austin to Nashville, I was treated to an overbooked flight full of small children. I was even that lucky passenger who ended up with the screaming child who kicked the back of my seat the entire flight. I figured I dare not complain, because it&#8217;ll be my luck it&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>
