I just got the fourth EUA in my inbox for this coming weekends trip to LAS. Not bad having bought the tickets last Tuesday. I was worried about the last one IAH-OKC. All good now.

The biggest issue is once upgraded I was able to move all but one flight to 1F, it would have been cool to have that same seat on all flights.

Now if I can just find someone to companion upgrade my friend from LAS-CLE on Monday morning.

I love his books. I've read them all, including the non-fiction ones.

So it seems bribery is the key to weight loss according to the news. Silly me, here I thought it was physical activity and eating properly.:rolleyes:

Well the eating right is still part of it. That study just found that money provided more of a motivation than anything else to get participants to do what they needed to do to lose the weight.

It is snowing in Katy. I repeat, white death is falling from the sky in West Houston in early December. The end is nigh. Run for your lives!

It's snowing here.

This morning the Bay Area, south of the airport, had frost on the roofs. It was in the low 40's, but it has warmed up to the 50's.

Eh, let 'em freeze. Who needs Fort Bend and Waller Counties anyway?

I look forward to the evening commute. It looks like flurries are being reported along the I-45N Corridor. This ought to be rather entertaining. :rolleyes:

Yea, it was up here yesterday in OK. Have fun with it. Has the Mayor shut down the city yet?

In other news, the fire alarms just went off here at work! Yeah, another day of this s***!

Sounds like a good night to go to the Saucer and take the last bus back to your station to avoid any sort of traffic.

It got into the 60s up here today. Although, I didn't see the sun once.

Friday is supposed to be back in the low 30s with snow. :rolleyes:

Mmmm... Snow and Oatmeal Stout or a nice, thick Porter sounds like a good combination. I would always crack open a Stout or Porter when it was snowing in EDI. I saved Whisky for nights when gales were blowing.

I'm glad my commute is opposite traffic on I-10, as I can imagine the driving that is going to take place...

And with that, I'm on my way home.
