Also challenged by the prohibition against access to carry-ons ...

Why am I dreading a TATL J flight? "Security" "procedures".

thanks much for the tip. Will keep in mind for next time :).

In other news, Browns are winning. Yeah it's only the Raiders but BROWNS are WINNING :).

So I received my passport renewal. Only took three weeks from time I sent in, not too shabby of a turnaround.

I did not get my old passport back :(. I thought that was returned to you with the pages marked void or something like that? Or have I just crawled out from under a rock and missed something....

I simply let the GA know that I needed a Business Select number in order to make the connecting flight in BWI.

They have won three in a row! In other news, bacon has been cleared to land on 27L.

I am very happy that I will not be traveling outside the US until February. I hope this nonsense will have died down by then.

State Department says they are usually two separate mailings.

I hope it's calmed down by then as well but there are at least four Boxers abroad at the moment - we'll probably cope with the profound :rolleyes: for the good of the order.

Thanks!

+1 in hoping it calms down. Winter is good MR season.

This sub-2euro bottle of wine has no distinguishing characteristics or notes aside from having an alcohol content. I've had bad bottles of wine where I could find interesting hints but not so today. The bottle's not bad it's just a void.

ROFL, there are laws against that by the way. Your comments are pure gold, keep it up. ^^^^^

Laws against what, drinking bubbly or possessing a big black "disco stick"? If so, lock me up and throw away the key since I just can't do without either....

Not really. On the IAH-NRT leg of my recent SEA-NRT mileage run, it HONESTLY looked like somewhat had let go a load on the 777's bulkhead on a prior flight. Myself and 2 other FT MRers noticed it immediately upon taking our seats in the first row of BF. I kid you not.

Urban Meyer isn't officially retiring - now it's a leave of absence.

but deploying the disco stick in public can get you into trouble.

Greetings from the IAH E PClub. Had to get a desk on the 3rd floor, all the second floor ones were full. Surprisingly, the airport isn't really that packed with people.
