It depends on what you did to need that bandaid. If your emotional support gator got angry about the SC food you were feeding it, you won't get my sympathy.

Ouch! What if it was an emotional support chicken that pecked the foot?

Y???

I assume 4F is F, but, why are you missing your PDB? Doesn't AS do PDBs?

I see. So, you're missing a DL service, on an AS flight.

On a side note, When I arrived here yesterday morning, I snagged a fast track arrival card sitting on the mini table of a J seat that someone left there. Do they ever change the design of those cards, or will it be good virtually indefinitely?

My personal best since I started tracking steps last month is only 14k a day. I gave myself a blister that first couple of weeks that I decided to hit my 10k every day. I think perhaps the most walking I'd done for a long time before that was in airports on travel days...

Somewhat relatedly, I'm grateful I'd recently tried to get more active, because I accidentally just took a job that has me on my feet many hours a day Monday through Friday. It has been a few years since I've had to physically work like this, I'll be grateful when they get someone permanent hired and trained.

Hope everyone is well. I can't remember if I asked if anyone else will be going to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver next month. We'll be doing the Saturday evening run, if I recall correctly Would be happy to meet up with any other attendees or locals =)

I think my personal record is right at 40k. I was training for a marathon while we were visiting Greece, so I started off the day with an 11.5 mile run. I didn't want to go too far in the dark, so I ran back and forth on the loop around the Acropolis which is a pretty decent sized hill. Then we spent the day doing tourist activities including climbing up to the top of the Acropolis. I definitely earned the souvlaki and wine that day.

My Fitbit record is over 40k also, from the day I did the Mt. Grant Memorial Challenge.

Before I had the Fitbit (I no longer use it) I also did a 20-Mike day hike, and also Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim in a day, which have to be up there too in step count...

Mr. Kipper has hit 50K a few times, IIRC. Usually he does that when he's out west hunting.

We will not be out in DEN for the GABF.
