No, not me! I so rarely drive into the city these days, so it's simply not worth having to fund the EZPass a/c & have the 'privilege' of paying the monthly fee!:rolleyes:

I'm lucky that I have the mid-town direct into NYP, & worse comes to worse, I can walk to the train from my house. Otherwise, I drive to Hoboken, park & take the PATH in.

She had me fill out the oversell slip for compensation and said that she would call me and let me know if they will be mailing me a voucher. She said she would include me, my wife, and another girl that opted for the direct flight in the list to determine if there would have been an oversell. It was either do this and take the risk of CO not ever telling me if we would get a voucher or take the flight via IAH in Y all the way to LGA. I guess I was lucky in that the GA was honest and is in fact mailing me a $250 voucher. Either way I would have been happy as a transcon F is always better than in Y.^

That's friggin awsome! ^^
I ran into a few nice GA's in SAN back in May when I did my MR's for DEQM's :D

I always order such together, I am thirsty before they can come back! sometimes I even store the can in my carryon if they weren't :rolleyes: and open it for me.

hey at least you didn't get your ego boost from the 'privilege' or seeing a nude woman on a billboard truck :o

speaking of billboard trucks, I was surprised to see them all over richmond, VA, seems an unusual market for such.

What's worse is when the tagless are so numerous that it backs up past the tolls and I'm stuck in traffic anyway. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

One time I had a 20 minute crawl to pay the toll on the AC expressway because of this. It was all the way from the train station. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Night, Box.

I watched that show Whale Wars for the first time ever. I started watching it on Animal Planet since TV is so :rolleyes: this night. AP is only broadcast in SD for me, so I wised up to see if they were available on demand, and they were, so I watched the final two episodes in HD. ^:-: Anyway, they're nutty.

Environmentalist: "I can't believe they killed a whale with us here."
icurhere2 watching the promo: "That's what whaling ships do (bad word)".*

* Not commenting on the politics of whaling. However, I do have the expectation that whaling ships would engage in whaling.

Just got an e-mail from our friends at the US Mint; looks like a trip to UPS on Wednesday.

I've got a large pile of Mint Love in the pipeline now too. I was so excited that I placed another order ;)
