Grassy areas and rooftops only. IIRC, Bridges/Overpasses/Elevateds are only supposed to start freezing over... right about now. Most businesses Downtown have sent home workers who live out in the burbs already. It's a bit of a ghost town down here. We've just got a skeleton-crew staff in the office here right now.

If the roads are clear, how will the world end? :(

The wife and I did ATL-EWR-PVG and return, and then ATL-IAH-SEA and return and that got us (whoopee-whoopee) CO Silver. that's the only flying on CO this year. I think that is a pretty good score for only 8 segments.....

ExGateAgt, welcome to teh Box. :-:

The IAH stream includes the Houston Class B airspace and the Houston-area UNICOM. It's really too many different frequencies to be loaded into one stream, IMO.

Hrm. I just realized if my inlaws lived in SYR they would be closer to me than Utica since Utica is in the middle of nowhere with the :rolleyes:way the only way to get there.

He's a very nice guy. And yeah, the bulk of his pro career was not in New Jersey, but Uncle Lou thinks very highly of him. I don't know how long he'll be available for, but he is likely to stop down and say hi.

Very nice to be able to arrange an appearance.

I have yet to receive my Diamond Club or Medallion kits for 2011. :(

Both of mine are only valid through 2010 at the moment (the latter Feb 11 but you get the idea).

I've got JFK-BCN on 30 DEC. Not sure what the current booze rules are on DL for TATL (i.e. if I need them or not) but I'll toss my hat into the ring.

Need coupons if you want Woodford. Beer/wine are free.

It fell into my lap. :D I called the team offices about my inability to find access to a certain parking lot near the stadium, and for some reason I ended up being routed to the GM's son, who is one of the team's attorneys. (:confused:) When he called back, having heard the last name, I asked how I could get in touch with Marshall, as I thought his primary job was still with the minor league in Massachusetts. Lo and behold he called not long after I spoke with the boss's kid.

Upon further reflection, it would not surprise me at all that I reached a team attorney...after the stink I made about nearly getting kicked out of the stadium because of taking pictures, I may well be on some kind of watchlist.

I'm home - stopped to fulfil my Heineken rebate with purchase of eBay gift card. Didn't make steak, eggs, and soup when I got home. Did make steak, eggs, and sauteed onions.

The need for me to visit BNA increases with each mention of your steak-making skill.
