Some of them do. My Dell Mini 10v offered it as an option. I opted not to, because I have a USB 3G stick courtesy of my employer. Apple should have provided some kind of Dock/USB adapter to allow the use of 3G devices.

+1. I used to work with a plant in the little town of Rupert, ID, about 2.5 hours east on I-84. BOI was a nice place to fly into - I could take a direct flight out, and then arrange a return connection via DEN that got me on a 3-class 777 going DEN-ORD.

My other option was a 3-hr drive from SLC, which had the virtue of not being far from Park City if I wanted to tack a day on the end of the trip.

You realize that's a myth, right? Use a high spf. That will prevent a sunburn on your honeymoon.

Oh, dear!:eek: Sooo young!

My dentist gave me the impressions he took of my mouth and they're kind of freaking me out.:rolleyes: I'm waiting for them to go chattering across the dresser.

Just an FYI I got sun poisoning on my honeymoon. Had surgery to remove the damage 3 years ago. Having prickly/itchy feelings on one's honeymoon is not fun.

Bolivia was weird. Ambient air temp was only in the 60s, but the combo of altitude and proximity to teh Tropic of fozz meant that you started burning within minutes of stepping out into the sun.

Ahhhhhhhh.....

Finally had bread and pasta and vodka again tonight after a week off. SO much happier now.

Had our regular waiter at my regular Italian restaurant. The bill reflected approximately half the alcohol consumed. The tip was quite generous in reflection of said fact. Being a regular certainly has its benefits.

Oh, and the waiter started the conversation by mentioning that he saw the segment on NY1 about miles that had me in it. :cool:

I've already got the line, but if the fare is right I'll go for the miles and the company.

Back to eating bread again

I agree I did miss my bread fix for the last week . However I did find a good brand of Slivovitz (plum brandy) which is Kosher for passover to satisfy my quest for a drink (its only 80 proof ) .

I am happy. the Lake House is coming along nicely. We should have the roof rafters in place by the end of the week, and the next week the framing can be closed up and the windows can go in.

I was watching the framers today. How they can walk across beams that are only 6" wide, 30feet up in the air is beyond me. I get dizzy watching from terra firma.

I can't wait for the lake house DO!

but, buying a house is pretty cool too, especially your first house.

I cried when I first walked into my first house, right after closing. I cried when I bought my second house, it was phenomenal. I cried when I SOLD my second house... I still love that house and wish it were mine :(

I kinda liked the prickly feelings I got on my honeymoon, but there was no sun poisoning involved ;)

EWR-ANU on the weekend specials. At $275 not a huge bargain, but 2x daily flights and way cheaper than the normal published fares. If I wasn't GEG'ing it up I'd be all over that.
