Like I said, I'll be happy when I get my 20,000 miles from them.

That's what they do. Skim the number, buy stuff in the US, get a dope to ship to Africa, then sell it for what they can.

Chris Hansen did an expose on the practice.

I worked an identity case about two years ago on some lady who was getting a bunch of bills from every chain store possible. Big screen tv's washers and dryers, clothes, you name it someone was buying it. It took a while but some lovely people in Newark, NJ had friends who worked down in south Jersey at a car dealership. The people at the dealership were getting customers information on the computers and selling it. Very interesting scam they had going on. :rolleyes:

Snowing in BNA says the pilot while on the ground in STL. A few musings:

* I hate ER4s.
* My boarding gate was directly across from the Chili's I got sick at years ago.
* I hate 6A on an ER4 with the fury of a thousands suns.

You know it. We got lots of it out in SDF and I understand nearly a foot in CVG.

When was the last day they got any real work done

Last work they did was last Wednesday when they poured the concrete floor in the basement. :( Darned weather is screwing everything up.

I'm pretty sure I'm on some sort of government :rolleyes: list, now. Got selected for secondary in ATL, and they swabbed everything on me, my bags, etc., which then proceeded to cause a cascade of alarms in the swab-sniffer thingy. Then had to wait for the head-honcho TSA dude to come down and interrogate me/go through all my stuff again. He also scribbled down all my passport details in a notebook. No doubt I'll get the third degree returning from Poland next weekend.

01:30 later... G&T in teh PClub. :-:

ETA - They broke my bag, too. :(

:td::td::td: :(:(:(

That's where I got it from.

Snowcross looks deadly, that course is nothing but ice!

It doesn't look like my VDB will, thinking about bailing soon.

Yeah, the snow looks like a complete mess at both Cypress and Whistler. :td:

I saw how hard that ICE surface was and was just stunned that they are competing on that, nothing to help with friction if you don't stick a solid landing there.

Beyond the ice, the bigger problem seems to be the slush that develops during the day and then freezes and chunks up when the temperatures drop - that stuff is awful to ski on.
