Delayed for lightbulb installation. Very lightly loaded flight.

My hate of CNN is well-known, but this anchor is really quite hot. She's even hotter with the sound off.

Thanks; it's all gravy so far.



Thanks very much - only question is how I will get home and if the VDB amount is worth giving up F on the last segment.
Am hoping the VDB is 'attractive' enough!:-:-- you certainly wouldn't want to get stranded out there -- I'm not a big PHX fan after the MR seminar!:rolleyes:

Don't think that'd be a problem -- I'm pretty 'upscale', myself!;):D

On IAH-PHL, even a $250 VDB is worth giving up the F seat.
IAH-PHL is known to go higher than that, but the catch is that the bump chance is on PHX-IAH...they might not take me if they can't get me home.

... they can put you on a direct PHX - PHL flight.

hmmm... I wonder who flies that route. :D:rolleyes::o

See if they can put you on a AA or DL flight. Then request original routing credit and boom you've just doubled up. At the very least the DL miles can be turned into gift cards at a $.01 a mile.

Good Morning Box.

PHX-CLE/EWR/DEN/ORD/IAD-PHL, then claim original routing credit.

This is CO we're talking about, not UA. No way they put him on a non-partner flight for a VDB reroute. It would probably take some serious tooth-pulling just to get a reroute onto UA or US.

Cute.

I would consider walking to their corner if I can get original routing credit.

Radio off, check in again from PHX...will advise on bump fail or win.

Yep. Apparently they're local to Chicago. I thought their music was good enough to pay for (at least $0.99 per certain songs). Nice to get the whole album gratis. :D
I decided to snag the album off their site - will give it a listen this evening back at the HP RIC.

I googled the other artist you mentioned earlier - "Throw Me The Statue". They get bonus points for a clever record label - "Secretly Canadian".

Legos rock. My nephew is now old enough to play with the sets that pose a choking hazard. I think I'll get him a lego plane kit for Christmas.
I'm looking forward to when my daughter is old enough for Legos. My parents have my huge boxes of pieces from childhood left over.

Their "Creaturesque" album is brilliant. I was giving it a listen on my way to work this morning.
