I have nothing to say in defense of Teh Pit.

I have one thing to say...it is bound to be less humid and hot than the CM ops center in Panama....and that isn't saying much.

BTW did you see their disaster operations site out by Miraflores?

It is a crying shame that my first choice received the least amount of votes.

Don't feel too bad. I voted for Blagojevich. In and of itself, that's a sad statement on the quality of the GOP opposition.

Most places on the planet are less hot/humid than Panama.

The combined company can be HQd in Houston from November-April, and Chicago from May-October. Compromise. :-:

1) Do you have possession of the moved items?

2) If not, query whether you should consider make a claim with your insurance company for a theft of the moved items and simply walking away from the matter with a check for the value of the moved items in hand (less your deductible, of course).

Note, however, that such a plan only works if (1) you have insurance on the moved items (independent of insurance covering damage incurred due to the move itself); and (2) you are not particularly attached to the moved items.

That'd be a pretty significant ding to the P&L.

In the grander scale I imagine $35m isn't much plus they can leverage their presence at ORD and threaten to pull out.

But how does this scenario fulfill the promise of eventually depleting Teh Pit of all its residents, so that it may be scrubbed from the collective consciousness like the festering eyesore that it is?

ACT has a new hotel, it is pretty nice:

Population in Teh Pit is growing, no? Eventually we will all be Pitizens.

Items are moved in except for a picture I bought and had framed from my MSP-LGW mistake fare.

You voted for Ulman?

I love/hate that Mayoral elections here are nonpartisan.
