If that dense rock is really weighing you down, one of their charities might help you lighten the load.
Some of them (the Shriners) drive around in parades in their ridiculously small cars. I last saw them in a parade in my ex's home town about 20 years ago. Bless them. Sometime a one-stoplight* town can't muster much else for a parade.
*It was blinking red for the cross (east-west) traffic but only yellow for the north-south (Main. St. / MN 29) -- does that count as a full stoplight or merely half?

The even tried to remove it for a while, which made it much more difficult to give directions to my mother-in-law's house. "Left at the light, last house on the left" no longer worked.

That feeling when you buy FC, but no one is on the upgrade list and there's like 6 empty seats... 😑

Never Google the tail # of your plane whilst on a ground hold and discover that it's been damaged before. We've hit really bad turbulence and now I'm convinced the repairs might have issues. I shouldn't have had that second Amex cocktail in the SC.

My house is currently beer-less, but that's an easy problem to solve on the way home.

Almost got lucky today. Missed the bar at MCO this morning because traffic was terrible and we had trouble finding a parking space (checked in at the 46 minute mark), but we went to order a Macallan at ATL E and the bartender said do you want the 12 or 15 or some reserve cask (not sure exactly what it was). We quickly said the last, but then she decided to check her list and said we could only get the 12. Oh so close, but it still was a good drink with our lunch and the price was right.

Gotta love flying on Saturdays. Half of CVG's morning departures are to Florida, LAS, and CUN. You know what that means.
