The Flakes Are Back

After a long, grueling week throwing themselves over the company sword in Mexico, Mark and Paul returned to work today.  And they picked the perfect week to come back.

It's about 65 degrees cooler in Billings than it was in Cancun.  And we're in for brutal weather all week long.  To make matters worse for Paul, the cows on his ranch just starting "calving" this week, about 3 weeks earlier than usual.  If only his bulls hadn't busted out last Spring, life would be a whole lot easier for Paul this week.

Once again this year, the Flakes had a great time hanging out with all the Cat Country listeners who traveled to Mexico with them.  Although Mark has a bone to pick with the airlines.  These days, they are charging passengers $5 to watch tv on the plane for two hours.  Of course, the Flakes' flight was 4 hours from Cancun back to Denver.

Is it worth $10 to watch tv on the plane?  Yes, and here's why.  If you don't pay to watch tv, you are subjected to a continuous replay of a promo for Greg Kinnear's new sitcom.  After watching that 30 times in a row, Mark would pay any price to make it stop.
