I had never seen that, but I believe I may have covered much of the spirit of that post. :D

In searching for the link to Plus1's Guide to Box Life, there is apparently an FT handle 'Plus Ein'. Looks like the Swiss beat him to it.

Welcome to the Box. In airport terms is the place they put your plane after they push back from the gate, head off towards the runway only to park someplace for a ground hold and you get to sit, and sit, and sit, and sit.

Hi, Box.

Congrats to the many milestones this evening!

G'night, Box. Talk to y'all again from the train on the way to EWR in the morning. The aircraft made it back to EWR in plenty of time and NJTransit is still running as of now. Fingers crossed in my sleep....

NJ Transit says the will run a full schedule Friday, unlike LIRR.

I kinda got lazy in the 36,000 range. I got focused for the rest, though... :rolleyes:

IME it is never fun, in either direction.

Hey, some of us live there (or nearby on the PA side)

+1

After a lot of nothing on my calendar, it looks like I will actually be going somewhere on an airplane next month, and I will probably even be flying on CO. Woo hoo.

Is there a meaningful difference between a Waffle House and a Huddle House?

I am needing to go to bed soon, all packed up and passport ready to go. I have to do some work in the morning near the airport. I just need to go find the mini wifi unit so I can get us all online in the hotel in MEX :D

That's an excellent point.

Indeed. :o My apologies for bashing your metro area. Many years of disliking it does not get repressed easily. :)

I don't know - I've been to the former once (as part of Greasy Spoon Do) and the latter once (after a round of golf in St. George, SC).

We always speculated about the level of inbreeding... :eek:

My single lifetime Waffle House visit: Hapeville, GA after the Devils shut out the Thrashers at home.

WiFI Hotspot not needed, Hilton at the airport is WiFi Ready. Don't even recall there being any plugs to plug into!!

Indeed. Butter all over the top waffle, then flipped it over to create even distribution.
