I would venture many of my readers are travelers - those folks that spend countless hours in airports and on airplanes venturing all over the world. And for some of those people, we have no doubt been sitting in an airplane seat just staring into the abyss when we reach forward and grab the magazine in our seat pocket. Hoping that the time passes faster, we flip the pages and wonder at some of those things for sale. Let's take a look at the highlights.

Bigfoot (aka Yedi): Yes, you read that correctly - bigfoot can be yours. But not just one, you can get two. A self standing model or one you attach to your tree as it peers and looks for its next victim. But do not worry yourself - this is just a plastic model. Price? You can afford it!

X5 Hair Laser: I keep flipping the page and yet another laser hair grower! OK, so this one is not hands free, but someone must be buying. Now only $200.
Skymall - a brief glimpse into humanity and what we are purchasing. Or are we? Hard to tell - but I hope they keep coming up with new stuff because for as much as I travel - I do notice those things that are new and exciting. And for the record, I have NEVER purchased anything from Skymall - but we do have a neighborhood Yedi statue that protects our hood.
