No, I live in Northern Israel. Of course, if I were to walk north for five minutes (and if there weren't a highly-militarized border stopping me) I would be in Southern Lebanon and thus could get all the mint juleps I want.

Greetings from the Atlanta E SC! I just took a shower and I have to say that was wicked cool 
I feel so much better and that alone made the SC worth the money.
Ironically, SLC has a better bartender IMHO.

Embraer 175 - 1, coyote - 0
I was on DL 5946 1:30 PM ORD to LGA yesterday which had to abort takeoff because we hit of all things, a coyote. We were almost up to takeoff speed when the pilot had to slam on the breaks and take us back to the gate. After a check by both the pilot and maintenance apparently the plane won in the eternal struggle of plane versus coyote. We gave it another shot about 45 min later and everything was fine. Definitely a strange one.

In making up a Delta Forum Lounge Slate for TalkBoard, it should be kept in mind that one of the candidates is Cholula, who is one of the oldest members of the lounge (and I mean that in more than one way).
I have to wonder, however, if he he is being serious in his TB platform -- after all, he in it he praises "the high intelligence level and sophistication of the members".
Clearly, he is ignoring both Canarsie and me.

Standing at the long line waiting for the ferry off Ellis Island, I come to realize just how appreciative I am of SkyPriority. Those who complain about it should try to imagine a day in the life of a kettle I know I'd probably die, but do kettles, since they travel only rarely? Or is that where the constant complaints about air travel come from?
