Figure it would just be another CO.com bug. The odd thing in this case is that I never received an EUA email, the PDA site doesn't show me as being upgraded and the change occurred outside of an EUA window. All of my other upgraded segments for this run show R.

Like you said, I'm not getting my hopes up.

This has happened to me a couple of times since the implementation of the new fare buckets.

I have an entire wall of cabinets stocked with just the hard stuff, so a minibar in my home could still be sizable ...

My coworker who got laid off just came by to say good bye :(

I actually didn't really know the guy even though he worked in my group.

I never had a chance to really talk to him until today at his farewell lunch. Man, he's a really cool dude. I can't believe I'd never talked to him until today. It sucks because I can see him as a friend :(

Note to self: introduce yourself to the new guy next time.

:rolleyes:

Dear Terminal C Papa John's:

What do you plan to do down there?
If you need ideas let me know. My whole family lives in BUE, and my brother works at the Hyatt there, in case that is where you are staying...

Thoughts and prayers, sfogate.

The boy has so much to learn about my home state, and I promised him that next trip to Houston, we were going out for kolaches one morning.

Sounds like you have some home-schooling to do. I think I have a 7th Texas History book if you need. It is under a 1,000 pages.

Given that you have a GM, it may also be a dead alternator, which led to a dead battery. Be sure to have them check that.

Yeah, turned out ok. I have an interstate battery in it and the remaining warrenty gave me a 50% discount so out the door and on to consulting job for under $85

Also there is the bus from the airport to the museum. I don't recall the time it took but for $2 was better than a cab, although your timing may require a cab.

Just booked a ticket on Alaska as I will be in SEA this next week and the airfare SEA-LAS was cheaper than two nights in a hotel in SEA and I can stay with friends in LAS and I used my new HH CC so got 15,000 points for the purchase. Also called Alaska to look at getting better seats and the agent said no go but to call this special 888 number and that I could be upgraded to MVP status with Alaska for a year. I am debating what to do now.
