Or a Li:rolleyes:ns fan (theoretically, they have fans).

I think I'm going to earn 0 miles right now watching Slumdog Millionaire. (although technically, the Mister got about 3 for the rental).

I saw slumdog a few weeks ago, and was quite impressed with it. Havinig been in Mumbai, and all over Northern India, it brought back many memories.

I don't know how I feel about this area being referred to as "my" land. gbryan for mid 4's you can get a decent house not much further north. You've seen the pics of The Canuck's and my Casa on FB. You guys are welcome to come up here on a weekend and I'll show you around. Although, if you're on this side of the river, you'll want a car.

Mid 4's for a home is what drove me from MD to TN (I do work for state agencies).

Speaking of home-ownership - off to WalMart to see if they have anything in the line of plumbing supplies.

Wow, it's been the better part of two weeks since I've been able to do more than occasionally peek in here...preseason, beginning of school, parents, visitors, etc. will do that to you. I didn't miss DEQM Round 2 (:confused:) or the new OnePass chart, though...not THAT much on another planet. :D

Just finished watching the US Open women's final...heck of a game, and both players super gracious and classy. Well done. ^ (I spent a day there last week...got to see Oudin take out Dementieva, her first big upset!)

Back on a plane on Friday for the first time in 4 weeks. Shocking, I know. PHL-IAH-DEN and back in a weekend, and 4 more SPG stay credits. :D

Umm, candied bacon. ^

Call us heretics, but neither of us liked the Divine. And the IPA was horrible.

Sleep is eluding me once again thanks to the noninterventionist policy of the air conditioning here.

During the summer, DL runs a nonstop daily 738 on ATL-FCA (Kalispell, MT). We flew the FCA-ATL portion of this flight in June, on a reward ticket, in F. It's a lunch flight both directions, which on DL these days means a choice of a cold sub sandwich and chips, or some kind of salad. FCA is an airport mostly served by RJs, with a few 319/320 flights on NW to MSP, and the lone DL mainline flight to ATL in the summer. There's no catering for meals there, despite the huge numbers of passengers this fairly small airport handles in the summer months (Glacier National Park is a few miles away). DL caters its ATL flight for both directions in ATL. In our case, after the lunch orders were taken, the FA working F opens the coat closet, moves some coats aside, gets down on her hands and knees, and pulls out about 4-5 sandwiches, wrapped in plastic wrap, from the bottom of the coat closet, and then takes them to the galley where they end up on trays for passengers a few minutes later. At this point the sandwiches had flown ATL-FCA, a flight of around four hours, plus the hour plane had sat on the ground at FCA. Assuming they were loaded in the closet in ATL, they had probably been there, unchilled, for around 5-6 hours. They kind of tasted like it too.
