Also, be aware that the BR has a 3-drink limit. The beer may flow freely for about 15 minutes...and will then be cut off.

My good Lord.

When did they institute such draconian regulations? Does it even apply to their best customers such as the MVPGs?

Perhaps up for something.

Fireworks though are a bit of a joke up here, as its still very light. Eagle River has a show on July 3 (evening) typically, and a bigger display on July 4 in ANC.

I've been able to finesse that in the past by pacing myself and making
sure different attendants help me. And if memory doesn't fail, at times
there have been complaisant personnel.

Hoisted one in your honor and then went to cheap Malbec; the girl
poured me a beer-sized glass of it, and then it was time to go.

Sorry I missed you all. My business dinner was nice but we did not leave Suite 100 until a little after 9 PM.

I will be passing through Anchorage on the afternoon of July 10th. After a hopefully short meeting with the folks at U.S. Customs and Border Protection over in the North Terminal, I should be available for questions and autographs and cocktails in the Boardroom. Okay, well... maybe just cocktails

Has CBP opened a Global Entry interview center in the North terminal? That would be much better than SEA.
