I was reading up on LH M&M to figure out why those HON members get such priority treatment through the system.
Golly, there is no way someone can fly in Y and ever get HON...unless they fly LH long hauls like every week.

Remembering the 10 members of the Oklahoma State men's basketball team that died in a horrible plane crash 10 years ago this week. It came on the heels of our bonfire collapse when I was at A&M, and it really hit everyone hard.

I think ESPN's next 30/30 will be about this tragedy.

IIRC, there used to be an LX J fare MUC-ZRH-(BUD?), where if you spent every weekend of the year doing turns on that route, you could haz HON for about $32,000. Dunno if anyone has been crazy enough to do it.

Le sigh. Just got home from work to discover that avalanching snow off the back of my garage roof blew out my neighbor's fence. If it weren't for the money this is going to cost me, I'd find it extremely 
. And when I went to snow blow the avalanched snow on the front of the garage, I discovered a wheel on the snowblower was about to fall off. 
Cha-ching.
