FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

About five years ago I stumbled on to a "Big Bird" festival outside of Fort Collins, CO. (Large radio controlled airplanes) I thought some of 'em were almost big enough to take a ride on. Cool way to spend a day.

I just booked another trip for ATL, leaving Wednesday. I don't mind, except for the god awful rates to rent a car at ATL. Some of the highest rates I've seen anywhere in the nation. If I remember correctly, I paid less in DUB than I normally do in ATL.

But not this time.

This time there is a special. $108 all in from Enterprise, I got me a hoss cargo van. I'm married now so I don't need to worry about picking up chicks, but I'm sure I could haul a bunch of heroin or something.

My ATL car rental when I went down for the hockey game was a comp from Hertz, and it's a good thing too...I wouldn't have paid old Iraqi dinars for that $hitheap.

I'd pay 50 billion Zimbabwe dollars. ;) Let's play, "Who wants to be a Zimbabwe (b)millionaire?"

I think I may have figured out what the four NW jets were doing at the cargo area.

I noticed a World Airways jet parked there on my drive home and think the NW jets maybe are used for troop carriers. Thoughts?

Morning box! Another snowy morning here.

Beginning my 48 hour media blackout now. I think I'll catch up on iTunes downloads or something :)

It might be a marketing trip as well - teams usually only use one plane.

MBM3 - I had my first dinner at Fahrenheit on Saturday night before we went to see FrostNixon at the Playhouse.

Dinner was awesome - and we'll definitely go back when we have more time to enjoy the experience.

I will check after morning coffee. Things are proceeding very slowly this morning. I got 18 hours of sleep yesterday, and I still don't think it was quite enough to recover.

I am glad you enjoyed - it is a great place for fine dining as well as a quick stop at the bar for a pizza and beer.

I will pass on your kind words to Rocco.
