You've had years to improve. Have you improved? I don't think so. I hung up on you just last week. This was humorous. You’ve had years to improve. Have you improved? I don’t think so.

Feel stalked. I'm not an engineer and never studied physics, but I've traveled a lot. It got squished because of the change in air pressure when flying. Also, the reason the 7-up tasted different in Mexico is because in the U.S., most carbonated beverages are made with high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener, while in most other countries, cane sugar is used instead. This causes subtle differences in taste. I am a stalker who is stalking you. Feel stalked.

However, if you open the bottle while airborne (which I did not), then the bottle will contract upon landing no matter what your destination. (That's unless you're flying to La Paz, Bolivia, the world's highest commercial airport, which is situated at 13,300 ft compared to the cabin pressure which is usually equivalent to 8,000 ft. In that case the bottle would expand upon landing -- and you might experience related problems if you're not accustomed to such altitudes.)

(aka: Mexico was hotter and higher than Rochester) Usually in the airplane the air pressure (even in the pressurized cabin) is lower than atmosphere and so the bottle swells, then on landing it contracts, but it always seems to contract to smaller than the original. I've seen this happen on both the initial and return journeys of a trip, however, which slightly confuses me... I want to say that the bottle is squished due to a change in elevation or temperature.

]]> Comment on My Adventure in Colorado by grasshopper2513 http://www.timpeterson.org/blog/2008/08/30/my-adventure-in-colorado/comment-page-1/#comment-307 grasshopper2513 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:21:29 +0000 http://www.timpeterson.org/blog/?p=38#comment-307 Sounds like you had fun. I had heard of the live recording, and considered going, but like many others, my budget said it wasn't going to happen, especially when my car broke down and I had to barrow my brother's truck that gets about half the gas mileage that I get in my car. Since they did this for their 15th birthday, and now 20th, maybe now is a good time for me to start planning just in case they do it again on their 25th birthday. By then I should be completely done with school (Dare to dream!!!), and at a job where it won't be a huge deal if I need a few days off. Sounds like you had fun.
