9-1-1 what's your :rolleyes:.

8 car MVA which triggered a subsequent 4 car MVA. Requesting 2 whirleybirds. Responding units going northbound in southbound lanes. Reports of vehicles jumping median and heading southbound.

... this is not good.

Aloha box. Most of my home improvement projects are done for the foreseeable future. Sat out on my patio this morning reading the times and drinking coffee. Was very ^.

Procured a case of Molson and a case of Blue for our Canadian Independence Day celebration tomorrow. :D:rolleyes:

Neither does anyone else. I work in a data center and it has been the subject of some lengthy conversations with people around the globe.

During the summer I'll get the occasional phone call from my mother at 5AM.

That sounds like how my one bathroom remodel started. It was dripping tub faucet that ended up turning into a complete gutting and redo with an ultra tough tile job in the tub area.

Sounds like me. Is it OCD?

I'm in on both counts. ^

Too late to plan for this year. Next year (and perhaps next month) I may be re-locating to Shenzhen, China. Too bad it's before CO enters *A.

Happy 4th, Box!

After CO transitions to Star, which carrier would you pick for a J redemption to JNB/CPT? LH, SA, VS or EK?

I would say, in order of preference: EK, VS, LH, SA. Though the Otter may have an opinion.

Good afternoon box, Happy Independence Day to everyone.
I had to work until now so I have not had a drink yet :rolleyes:

When the A380 was coming to JFK it was a no brainer EK, now I would have to think about it, SA has a nonstop JFK-JNB flight so it would make the most sense and their product in J is good. They have no F.
EK would have more confortable seats, but VS would give me the most haircuts:D
LH would be my last choice in C

Travel Journal - Day 30 Something - July 4th

I miss the USA. Perhaps it's a bit of ingrained patriotism or a simple love of fireworks spectaculars, but I'm "over" Europe and ready to go home soon. I'll take 24 hour walmarts over skimpy-serving gellato stands on every corner any day - and while the metro is convienent I like to travel in a car with air conditioning, comfy seats, less then 300 people, and a bose stereo system.

I'm thinking a little bit ahead of myself here, but when the times comes I think I'll look in to VS on the way there (with a few days in London) and EK on the return. SA's product looks pretty nice (fozz, I'm surprised they were last on your list) and the FM line would be cool so that would definitely be a consideration.

If you combine EK and VS it bumps the award requirement.

:rolleyes: Of course it does... I wish these random matching rules were published somewhere.

I guess that would force me to do either VS/SA or EK/SA.

I'm seriously thinking about using some CO miles for a trip on EK to SA...seems like a good use of 120k miles if I can get EK metal each way. Flights out of YYZ seem doable, and will really be nice post-Star since I can take AC to get to YYZ...
