Houston's Central Market announced 20% off all beer until July 6. Wonder if the Austin and Dallas ones followed suit. ^

I'm stunned! And I have to ask, what kind of strategy did you use to accomplish this? Without (I believe) any direct way to query the post data base, this is pretty d@mned impressive.

There's no dark art to it. When viewing the forum the number of posts in a thread is a link, which I just copied and pasted here, and hence the . :-:

Only upgrades. On a single PNR you're together for standby priority and pricing but if split you are not. Just another flaw in CO's companion upgrade scheme.

With the hiring of Adam Oates as an assistant and Johnny Mac running the show, the offense is almost sure to uptick somewhat. My dream UFA pickup was (and still is) Anton Babchuk, but he decided to return to Carolina.

The one with 365 days. The Gregorian one.
