They probably meant Sodoku, which is form of rat-bite fever.

All these years, I assumed that those stares were because these people had never flown before and did not realize they could get up.

Second week with no newspapers in LGA for shuttle flights

This is now the second week where there have been no newspapers or magazines available for the shuttle flights our of LGA in the morning. It really screws up my morning routine!

A friend is flying in to visit us today on a fam flight, and the rules said he'd have to be completely cleanshaven. So he shaved, and complained mildly about it to the captain who said that the rule is universally unenforced. I like him better scruffy, le sigh!

This morning’s DTW connection was short. I had enough time to visit the SkyClub by A18. It had zero cookies and was out of Caffeinated coffee.

I once witnessed a near-riot at the JFK T4 SC when the espresso machine broke. It was 7AM.

It was fun walking by the mob with a coffee I had gotten from the working machine at the other end of the room.

I'd think that, the crimes would be more likely to be committed by people who couldn't get coffee!

Thank you all for the sympathy. I also managed to leave my Shure 319s at home for this trip. Boo. But was cross graded to seat 10C on a 739 (the one with the closet next to the row instead of seats). I raided the snack basket semi-shamelessly in retribution.

I don’t like to stir my coffee so I had already prepped my to-go cup with creamer and Splenda. I wondered what the patron behind me though when I sighed in disgust and deposited the cup and contents into the garbage.

Out of curiosity, I clicked on the video link in the "Zorak, Here’s A Look Back At Your 2017 Medallion Year" email that I received from Delta. It reminded me of those children's books you can buy where they insert the name of your choice into the story. Bland generic video with travel "stats" like most visited airport, number of times in D1 and F (separately), and they somehow decided I took 22 "business" trips (99% of my travel is personal, and if I bother to answer the question, I answer that way), and in the "cities you visited using miles" they listed a city where I booked in 2017 for travel in 2018 and haven't actually flown yet
