Why is it so hard to buy beer in PA
One more thing I love about WI, easy to buy beer. In MN liquor stores close at 10 in MN, but it's midnight in WI for beer, so in college I had several 11 o'clock sprints to the WI boarder for moar.

I'm being sarcastic. I love sleep as well.

Agree.

Although I found some good Z fares ex-MKE last night though. CO is running 772's IAH-FRA from 7/23 and onwards. Or else I foresee an LHR run via IAH in my future.

I'd like to try CO BR before $mi$ek enhances it.

It's just a matter at getting teh time off.

The hockey game in Philly is over and the Devils won a tight one. I guarantee that ConciergeMike is in an excellent mood right now.

Good to see . I hope they saved some goals for tomorrow since I will be bringing my son to his first hockey game.

Finally broke down and ordered a new toilet today. It's something I have experience replacing but the valves that shut off the water are shot so I think I'll have to call my plumber to avoid creating an indoor water-feature.

I think CO.com is really screwy today with fares. I'm pricing flights for work that are 4-6 weeks from now, and showing 9s in all fare classes, yet CO.com will only sell me a Y or B fare. Seat maps for mainline flights are also offline (but they work for Express/Connection).

That's not a 747. Looks like a 757.

I had my hot water tank replaced a couple of months back. It was one of those jobs where I knew I "could" handle it but it would probably blow the weekend and have multiple trips to the hardware store.
So, I brought in a plumber friend to do it. He was just finishing up and turned the main back on when the water meter exploded.
Couldn't have happened at a better time... just happened to be a plumber sitting right in front of it soaked to the bone.
It really could've chosen any other time and would've probably turned my basement into a swimming pool.

Any Air Force plane can be AF1, it just needs the President on board. How do we know that president really wasn't on that 757 when the picture was taken? :-:

You could call it a bidet.

Ah, probably took the 757 due to the short runway at SNA.
