  1. Just finished with the selection process (it was easy). I wanted Section 9 under the overhang, like I’ve had the past few years, but I chose Section 10. The available seats in 9 were a higher than I’ve had, so I went with Row 51 one section over. I didn’t want to risk columns being in my sight line. My wife’s roommate’s dad was a SWC ref back in the 80s, and he gave them his comp seats in 1981. They were good seats except they were directly behind a column.
  2. R.I.P.tide Too soon?
  3. Spoke to a family member who missed her time slot. Bellmont picked seats that were almost identical to what she had requested in recent years, so tip o’ the hat to CDC’s crew.
  4. A little bit of lulz because he probably survived.
  5. Backstroke FTW
  6. That was in the Black Hills during the Sturgis Rally, but it might as well have been Yellowstone.

  8. Okay, I get it. Spellcheck/autocorrect/brain fart…pick one.
  9. My slot is 3:10 on 6/30, but I’m expecting to be on the road all afternoon. The email said it won’t work on the mobile app, so I may have to trust the generous SOULS in Belmont to pick my seats. What could possibly go wrong?
  10. Holy Horse Shit, that looks like Dirty 6th.
  11. This should be in a Pharma ad for crabs medication.
  12. I drive by a memorial to this event every time I go to our cabin. But, I’ll have to admit they do look cuddly.
  13. For the uninitiated (including me), the jet had reached 98 knots, or ~110 mph.
  14. And here I thought it was Customer Service Representative.
  15. What is CSR? Sarcastic responses are welcome.
  16. My daughter called me today for Fathers Day. Nothing much to add except she said the Delta employees in Minneapolis lived up to the Midwest Nice reputation, unlike the Southern Hospitality she didn’t see from the Delta folks in Atlanta.
  17. We were literally working on getting an AA flight through DFW when she texted that Delta was getting them on a flight through MSP. As I mentioned, Delta kept telling them they had a solution, then no solution. Eventually, we said fuck this shit, we’re going to try something else. I think the original connection was through O’Hare, but I may be mistaken. AA is an option I would like to avoid, especially if it involves connections.
  18. I think this is who overruled the regular agent to give her the last seat - first class, baby! And, I’m sure it was a Basic Economy ticket since she was in a group of 8 poor medical students.
  19. I was not pleased that she let them check her carryon that contained essential items. I bit my tongue because she was already stressed to the max, but I’ll let her know what she has undoubtedly already figured out herself.
  20. I flew frequently in the 80s and 90s. Almost never a problem. Even in the 2000s, airline travel was pretty smooth even though I flew less frequently. I’ve flown twice since Covid, getting stranded in DFW in late 2021 then getting rerouted on a flight that originated in D.C. but left my wife and me stranded in Denver in 2022. The one good thing that might come of this could be that my daughter sees the benefit of picking an ER residency within driving distance from home.
  21. This Delta nightmare never ends. After upwards of a dozen changes to my daughter’s rebooking (and spending the night in the Hartsfield terminal with meal vouchers that never worked), she finally got on a flight to Minneapolis. They printed her a ticket in Atlanta for her final connection. When she tried to board that flight, they told her (and only her) that the ticket printed in Atlanta wasn’t valid, and of course the plane had to depart before the ticket could be corrected. For some reason, Delta made her whole group check their carry-ons, so she is without her toiletries, meds, and contact lens stuff and the shops in the airport were closed. Delta sent her and several other passengers to a really nice Marriott. Unfortunately, they sent them to the wrong hotel, and their options were to pay $300-something themselves and hope for reimbursement or they could return to the airport to get new hotel vouchers. We ended up paying for the room. Tomorrow’s flights are completely booked except for one first class seat they hold her she couldn’t have. She insisted on speaking to someone who could override that rule, and she is supposedly getting that seat. There is more to the saga, but I have to keep it simple.
