If she is drinking straight vodka, I doubt that the Flight Attendant's final cup will not be more than her fifth.

Same here. Great goal by the American. The penalty seemed a bit weak. He was going away from the ball looking for contact.

If a Flight Attendant drinks a fifth, he or she should likely plead the Fifth.

Is this what they mean by "Fifth Freedom" routes? If so, I need to start flying more of these routes.

That sounds like a challenge I don't want to take on. In college, we had something called the Fourth Year Fifth. Back in the day, the challenge was to drink a fifth during the last home football game. After they stopped allowing outside liquor and started patting down students, it was adapted to drinking a fifth before going to the game. IIRC, our last game was a noon kickoff, so my roommates and I woke up around 6 to get started.

speaking of weak calls :/

definitely a foul, but not worth a yellow (and certainly not when he’s already on a yellow)

Man of the Match Anthony Taylor. Arsenal were the better team, but they were certainly helped by some questionable calls and non-calls.

Baking some bread. Almost done proofing.


Loaned someone my bannetons and they haven’t been returned. So I’m using bowls and some parchment paper...

I see a cupcake, although my first impression of the picture was that the bread dough was laying in the sand on some beach.
