If it's over $10,000, I'd reconsider. Do you really want to risk ending up on some G-man's watch list?

I would have liked to have seen shift change when Elvis took over the cab.

Nein. Ist Hitler's taxi.

That's a nice route to EUA.

And rescheduled (by a day) AUA trip is done!

Was that his first name or his last name? Can you describe him?

Immediate thought: "I'm not already?"
Intermediate response: "I've never ordered more than $5,000."

If I order $13,000 through end of year, I don't need to purchase another thing to max out credit card tier bonuses. My orders don't have to be large.

From home, order away. From Aruba, I'm only being partially facetious. The anti-money laundering laws are very real, and the source of transactions is noted.

What kind of dog park facilities do you have?

Great book cover. I am still laughing.

The dog park (I live about 10 miles south of SFO) is divided into two areas: small and large dogs. Each area has benches, tables and chairs,lights and hugh umbrellas plus running water and bowls for the dogs. The small dog side has a large turf field with a cement walkway for fence chasing. The large dog side is half turf and half powder gravel areas and is twice the size of the small dog area. We are also given a large supply of plastic bags for poop pick up and watering cans for washing way the evidence.

The park is located right next to the boat ramp so those dogs that love to swim only have to walk a short distance.

The Park and Rec people maintain the area daily.

Our cab driver home tonight was driving rather erratically down 5th Ave. I had to tell him that he was about to miss the turn onto our street. At that point my wife and I both looked over to see his name on the hack license. It was Hitler. I swear. I couldn't make it up if I tried.

The cabbie's name is Hitler.

That's gotta be an easy call to the City should you complain - "the cabbie named Hitler". "Oh yeah, we know him."

Someone with connections to city politicians, I assure you.

I love the people in the article who say that crime and vandalism went up when they took their razor wire down, and the city is oblivious to all this. sbm12 said he wanted to expatriate, and I'm starting to think it's not a bad idea myself. Maybe I'll get a job teaching English in Argentina and :rolleyes:v can come visit me.

Kinda keeping my fingers crossed that something will show up for over the Thanksgiving day weekend - really just want to enjoy a destination for a few days instead of getting right back on a plane (as I will be doing for 9X trips...erff..). One can hope, right?

For now I'm thinking SEA and doing the downtown area + Boeing factory, etc for one trip over thanksgiving... Otherwise it's a there and back to SEA or another transcon weekend... in Y.. I'm taking sticker donations.. :D

I know for a fact that the FBI has pictures of me due to some events I've attended...but, shall we say, they don't worry about me because I have blond hair.

Here was my "laugh out loud" moment of the day. Remarkable first, second, and third posts on FT. :p

Your dog is very lucky to live where (s)he does. I really feel sorry for dogs that don't get some off-leash romping time with or without other dogs. They can't maintain their mental or physical health without it.

The most I've ordered is $5K, but am now doing $1K (prez) & $2K (NA) -- that's about as much as I can handle dragging to the bk!:rolleyes::eek: That said -- it still freaks me out to see my huge cc bills -- even when I'm paying them partially w/coins!:eek: My UPS guy said he delivers quite a few coin orders in my town!;)

With CO PP MC -- I'm after the flex EQMs -- will come in handy in the future!^ This year will be the first yr since 2001 that I will get SE.^ Came close in 2006, but didn't think to do a quick flight to lock it in!:rolleyes:
May be possible to get to GE by 12/31 -- we'll see!:D
