Yesterday's soup at the SEA BR was Vegetarian Chili, one of the varieties that they are always rotating. Always something different. The soups are made by Stockpot, and are quite popular. You can find the soup upstairs at SEA - go down past the bar and you'll find it. Different "goodies" on each floor - the espresso machine is on the lower level along with the yogurt. Soda machines and coffee on both floors.

As for connecting through LAX - AS baggage managed to misconnect my bags going MEM-LAX-SEA yesterday. Though the luggage came in yesterday early evening, they decided to wait and call me today about their arrival. At 6:05 AM. Furthermore, they were calling to ask if they could drop off the luggage at the door, since the delivery won't likely be until after 11:30 PM tonight!! More like after midnight. Guess they don't send the delivery service out into Seattle traffic.

No priority security line at T3 (AS) at LAX, and long backups with hordes of children.
