I left home at 8:40 AM EST this morning. I arrived at the hotel in Texas at 10:40 PM CST. I could have driven from Atlanta-Beaumont in about the same amount of time, without even breaking the speed limit. And I thought flying was supposed to be fast. :rolleyes:

Note to NW: Please rip out the awful F seats in your CR9s and install the F seats that UA has in its CR7s. They are 100 million times more comfortable.

Would it be wise to tell the immigration people that I came for the stamp? That seems like reason alone to go to Canada! Well that and move up in the FM Race to hit more countries. :)

I missed my 1500th post
It went by so fast in the now famous "AMS" thread

I woke up extra early to go vote. The place where i am supposed to vote is only 4 streets north of my apartment so I walk up and at 6:45 am there is a line that is 2 CROSSTOWN blocks. I asked someone who was close to the entrance how long they had been waiting and they said people started getting there at 4:30 am and the polls dont even open until 6 am. It looked like Best Buy on Black Friday. Ill attempt to go back after work.:rolleyes:

Anyone know why the seat maps for the 737-800's are showing 5 rows in F?

A few of the 738s do have 5 rows of F.

Yikes! :eek:

My polling place is across the street from my apartment. Literally 60 paces to the registration desk. There were people in line, but not that many. I was through in 14 minutes, based on my post times in the AMS thread.

Good luck getting through the line tonight.

I just voted

COFlyerCLE Nov 4, 2008 6:29 am

Voted (legally) last week here in Ohio. Wasn't sure if I'd be home or not today... so that saved me a wait in lines today.

It usually is, at least when you aren't trying to do a MR. :D

Morning Box

lines at polling places I saw were around the corner, looks like a good turnout. Not sure if it will be a good outcome though ;)

ConciergeMike Nov 4, 2008 6:50 am

I really thought the news was joking when they said the turnout could be as high as 85%. If true, that would shatter the record from '80 or '84.

Anglo Large Clawed Otter Nov 4, 2008 7:18 am

I voted nearly two weeks ago :D.
