I'm not used to seeing that much money in one, easily accessible, account.

Oh my. .....ohhhh my.

Lache :D

I want to go to Oz very badly. Have any Boxers been to Broome in NW Australia? That whole stretch of coast up there looks amazing.

I was in Broome in the early 80's. Spectacular scenery. I had pleurisy at the time and didn't appreciate it as much as I should have, but it was amazing. I passed through Broome on the way from Perth to Darwin. I was on the first trailways bus that passed through after the winter rain. Muuuudddddy.

Site is finally working, and booked my flights.

What a pain it was, hotwire is down and Avis wants $100 a day A/I for a car. I feel like buying a bike at walmart and throwing it away on the way out of town.

For the private world folks who want to expand shorthaul ATR flying, mine are on sale at an extremely attractive rate.

Because when you're at the chippy at 3am, and can't see straight, a deep-fried haggis doused in HP Sauce starts looking mighty tasty.

YHPM. Those guys can custom-make anything. They did a flawless Tacori replica for the Significant Otter, that cost me about 35% less than the Tacori would have cost in a mainland jewelry store.

My engagement ring is a Tacori. I loved their designs and so when I wanted to have my diamond reset, I asked them to make a custom piece for me. I love it. Can't bear to think about how much it cost, but as my Mom says "there are no pockets in a shroud"!!!

Exactly .... all the Brits ever do is stay in the resorts. No sense of adventure. Unless you are me of course. I've got lots of sense of adventure!

For the rkkwan game:

USA: I have 19 of 31 - missing BOS, CLT, CVG, DEN, DTW, HNL, MSP, LGA, PHX, SLC, IAD, DCA

Never mind - scrapping the ATR's

Also, IIRC, from Downtown the 102 is a Zone 4 ride. With the new rate hikes, that would now be $3.75. Still cheaper than $15, but not worth the hassle if I can't even get on one that goes to IAH.

Route 102 from downtown is still $1.25 to the airport. I took that route recently. I live right by the 1st stop.

Verizon is using some offshore telecom answeirng center now, it is not indian as I talk to and know indian accents and words uite well, but it sounds like maybe some chinese/asian call center.

No problem with them they dind't even give me a sales pitch to buy something else which I always hate, but just odd. I used to get people in Tampa

Who needs the ATRs when I can fly made-in-the-motherland Y7s for the 24nm between HKG and SZX and charging people 310€? [In real life, it's a 90 minute bus trip for about US$25.]

Anyways, I am sensing the game will get a lot more exciting in an hour when a lot of people are getting mainline jets.

My small jets are already in service, but my 763 really f-ing ER's are coming tomorrow.
