I think TOL is my closet fighter base, though MFG has cargo (both ANG). Given NASA's increased development of Glen & Plum Brook Research Centers, that may change. For those of you who do not know, Plum Brook has become an important testing facility (world's largest vacuum chamber), to the point that they may build its own airport to handle freight.

The 'Duke' character in Doonsbury (sp?) was almost art imitating life for a while. Like the time an NRA guy went to visit Duke in Aspen, and was shown the mortars (to soften up the area before deer hunting, because he was a busy man) and the land mines (to train the dogs not to jump on the sofa, to which the NRA guy asks, 'what dogs?')

There's a chopper up now. At least no artillery drill tonight, so I'm off to bed.

When I get something like that I never even think about calling up to find out whether it is a mistake.

I believe that I have the right always to assume that it was intended for me since I have status with almost every hotel and am certain that they will indulge me in order to create a good impression and want me back despite my AAA or AARP rate. :)

Same here — the only reason I questioned it this time was the card for another guest.

Barstow is where dreams go to die.

What do you have when 36 people get together in Barstow?

A full set of teethhttp://rolleye.com/toothy.jpg

seriously
the best part of Barstow is the sign that says Wilmington, NC 2540 miles. Knowing I'd be back home in about 3 days

G'night, Box.

If you're going to be in EWR in the early AM, send me a text....I'll be in C for the 7:00 AM EWR-SFO.

I'll be at EWR (in about 10 minutes - on NJT now) but I'm flying on UA. Turns out that CO rarely offers the $260 fare to HNL from EWR. This is my first trip of my BD status year. A quick 10K points into my account is a great start. When I land in LAX in 2 weeks following the *A Do I'll have not only completed my 38K for Gold again but I'll also have my 55K for 625% credit earning. :cool:
