Hot on the Tail of Over-Sized Escorts

I took the boys to Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix twelve hours ago, and they have had an awful airport type of day. Air traffic was backed up in Denver due to weather someplace else, so they weren't able to catch the second leg of their trip to Kansas City. Tim finally got a seat on an outbound plane, but Nick and Boone have been at the Denver Airport literally all day. They are finally due to be boarding a plane to Kansas City as I write this. I think the plan now is for them to spend the night with Tim and Erin and head back to West Plains in the morning.

Yesterday Tim drove us back to Phoenix from the Grand Canyon. I was the co-pilot, and Nick and Boone sat in the back seat where Nick kept getting text updates on the Cardinals - Dodgers game. It would have been an uneventful trip, but Nick happened to look up as Tim passed a mini-van with tinted windows. Written across the side of the vehicle was "Over-sized Escorts of Tucson" and, in smaller lettering, "Chubby Chasers." (It turns out that similar advertising was written on the other side of the vehicle as well as across the back.) Nick had Tim slow down so the mini-van could pass us, and when it did, we passed them again so that Nick could get a good photo.

We laughed about over-sized escorts most of the way to Phoenix. Turns out that it is a company that escorts big loads going down the highway - such as mobile homes. But the double entendre was too clever not to have been intentional!

Chubby chasers, indeed!

Fly safe, boys!
