We actually played a shutout in basketball and I was mad one game when I was the first to get scored upon (that one was 67-4).

Oh my goodness!:eek: That is very tall for m.s.! There must've been something in the water there!:D Can't believe that I've ever witnessed a 'shut-out' in B-ball!:-:

A coach would be fired for not letting the other team score nowadays. :rolleyes:

MD-11 is at gate looking rather vintage. ^

Timely arrival of crew at gate is not possible.

Status of checked bag unknown.

My last company would give you deep grief if you used your own car for a trip outside of running to the airport. I used the enterprise by my house or the one near the office (god awful place to do business with). Some lucked out and got to use Hertz since that was a client of theirs and showing up at Hertz with an Enterprise car was in bad taste plus they wouldn't reimburse for that.

BTW - my car hits 186k tomorrow (and is a 1998).

134K+ on a car that I've owned for a touch over six years. I drive too much for my own good.

I see blue skies in that footage. The preferred method of arrival is in a rain/wind storm with almost no visibility, aboard an Aero Canuck Lite Dash-8-300 that's getting tossed around like nobody's business. :D

Pretty much their entire fleet was parked side-by-side when I got to AMS last December ^

Just some clothes, a pair of shoes, and my toiletry kit. Was mainly bringing the extra bag to bring back some Vino or Bier. Made sure not to pack any of my textbooks or other study materials in there.

Oooh, the Smurfs have arrived! Boarding should commence soon. :D

Wow -- that is a lot of miles for a 6 y.o. car -- but I do understand that you are living a bit off the 'beaten path' down there!;)
