MAEN!
Happy holidays to all!

I'm not feeling in a holiday mood at all, despite the relative warmth and sunshine today.

I always wanted to do the drive from SLC to Rachel, NV via Ely. I was planning to do it before I graduated, but never had the time (or money). I did get to go to Rachel finally in 2015, but from Vegas. Rachel has a small inn called the Little A'Le'Inn and the people there have some good stories. Not far from there is the back gate to some place that probably doesn't exist.

Wow. I return to look around, and things have changed.
What happened to everything which was here in The Lounge™?
Now there is one single urinal for both genders and a lone copy of Highlights magazine from 2008 on that splintered coffee table with three legs...

I had to take a TDY to LAS earlier this year. GSA contract on SAT-LAS is WN. I was able to get DL on the outbound with appropriate justification but no good DL (or AA) options on the return that supported my mission needs so I was stuck with WN. At least I managed to snag an exit row and the flight was empty so I even had an empty middle seat next to me. Happily been able to get DL for all the other TDYs I have coming up over the next couple months.
