Whoa – airlines may charge pax by weight?

On Tuesday, Bloomberg decided to stir the pot – it published an article wondering if airlines might start charging passengers by weight.  It’s an interesting and controversial idea, sparking much discussion on various message boards.  Check out the discussion in this post on CruiseCritic.  Weigh in (ha!) with your thoughts.

Outdoor movies in the Triangle

The NC Art Museum’s summer outdoor movie season kicks off this weekend with Atonement on Friday night and Once on Saturday.  Check out the rest of their summer lineup here.  I love taking a picnic there for dinner.

Regency Park begins tonight with The Bourne Ultimatum.  You can see their summer lineup here.

The Lumina  already got things going in Chapel Hill.  Their offerings are a bit more kid-friendly and generally a lot more recently released.

There will be others that pop up as the summer goes on.  Usually the Town of Morrisville hosts one at some point.  City Market has them every other Saturday in Moore Square Parkbeginning… well, sometime.  (Personal note: We attempted to attend one of these once and left less than 15 minutes into the movie.  We were sick of the kids running back and forth, screaming, and stepping on our stuff and all the smoking.  We couldn’t really hear the movie and couldn’t enjoy the atmosphere.    I hope that was a one-time thing, but I haven’t managed to give it another go since then.)
