I can't find anything in the news yet.

If you level a gun at a cop and survive, the cop did something wrong. Two in the chest, one in the head, have a nice day. No excuse in any universe for letting yourself get to that point. Not so much sad as it is outright stupid. I feel more sympathy for the paperwork involved than I do the dead guy.

I was a wreck that day in the Tower Lounge between my head and my spasming back. I was in pain to the point that only stepping outside and inhaling cold air right in front of LH J checkin prevented me from throwing up in the airport. Arnica and :rollpuck:'s donation of three Tylenol PM (putting aside the fact it was a noontime flight - :eek:) made FRA-PHL basically feel like doing the timewarp. I passed out before pushback, woke up for pasta, woke up for sushi, and woke up 15 minutes from landing. Nine hours later, no back pain and no headache.

As far as my television provider is concerned, I live in one of the five boroughs.;) I get the 3 NY sports channels - MSG, MSG+, and SNY - along with the NY locals. I get Houston locals w/ the antenna in my attic.:-:

Congrats on the Devils win.

Thank you, sir. I must find a way to get Devils programming. Sadly I think next year is the year that I break down and buy Center Ice, assuming I have a work schedule that permits me to get ROI on it.

Are you insinuating that Airplane! is not a classic for its genre?

Morning, Box. Tips turned out to be above average after all. Must have something to do with my charming personality.

I had to pee so bad on the way to work this afternoon, and I was stuck in dead-stop traffic on the DE Memorial Bridge. Just before belynch stopped in to say hi via BBM, I desecrated the empty Dunkin' cup that was in my car. Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, up to and including throwing the contents of the Dunkin' cup out and refilling it. Twice. Now I know what NYC cabbies have to endure.

Just got on the plane for LGA - IAH. Enjoying a vodka and OJ. I am on the same exact plane 3 out of 4 flights today for my SNA run.

Mtbroxs Apr 17, 2010 3:24 am

1 E is nice enough to have her feet on the bulkhead :rolleyes:
Just what one wants to see at 530 am :confused:

Olton Hall Apr 17, 2010 5:43 am

Good morning Box. Sorry to hear about people's loved ones with Alzheimer.

Portland is nice. It is cold and they don't believe in shoveling snow on the sidewalks so she'll need to like to walk in the snow.

I'm off. Have a good weekend everyone and may :rolleyes: be far from you.

Yeah, I'm in Portland. It is nice, but a small town. Only 65,000 residents. Still, the downtown area is nice with a few restaurants and bars and such that are pretty cool. It will certainly be an adjustment from SFO but not one I would dismiss on spec.

I need to search ebay for a Verizon global phone to activate before I travel to HKG. I get in 2 days after the s/o and I have to travel to Guangzhou alone. I would feel better with a phone that I can use to call the group if I run into any trouble.

I have an 8830 I can loan you. It is dual-band, not quad, but if it will meet your needs I'm happy to let you have it for the trip.

Is this the same LGA - SNA B-up run I discovered on accident?

Man oh man, the FT works in mysterious ways.

Aloha box from sunny S:rolleyes: FL. Have a few things to do this a.m. and then heading up to the space coast to meet up with teh Canuck (and her family :rolleyes:).

I think only the box can appreciate that of my 4 flights this week, 3 were new lines. :-: Nothing really fun or exciting, but new lines are new lines.

My NE corridor is turning into a dense blob. :rolleyes:

And, my number of CO segments is rapidly catching-up on my number of US. Granted, my true number of US segments is probably 50 higher (pre-05) than what I have in FM, but I don't have accurate records for those.

That's some good shading you've got going on up there near New Yersey. I need to find some new ways to get to Europe, once Iceland is done pooping on them. I think MIA-ZRH, SJU-MAD, and a few from LAX would avoid teh main blob.

Le Gran Bom Diddly, Box. Am about to go board IAH-MCO. Can't believe that will be a new line and dot.

I can't believe you're missing the FT dinner for new lines and dots and miles! :p


Have a good trip! Upgraded on all segments?
