Well you could say the same about boats
Not enough hours to get on the water with family obligations.
And I admit that I'm comparing NM to Denver area - which is a mother of a control area that claims everything over to the mountains the small planes can't fly over plus an hour's drive north and south of the city and two hours drive east. Kinda locks one out.
I also used to fly at Pontiac in Mich - that was a controlled field that wasn't too awful busy. But I think that has changed from what I hear.
We posture as apostles of fair play, as good sportsmen, as professional knights-errant-- and we throw beer bottles at the umpire when he refuses to cheat for our side...We save the black-and-tan republics from their native [statesmen]--and flood them with "deserving" democrats of our own. We deafen the world with our whoops for liberty--and submit to laws that destroy our most sacred rights...We play policeman and Sunday-school superintendent to half of Christendom--and lynch a darky every two days in our own backyard.
H.L. Mencken, 1914
