Yep! We had a 0440 pick up over in San Ramon. On the accelerator.. off the accelerator... on the accelerator.. off the accelerator. Then fell asleep, missed the exit, swerved, religious experience for all, and none of us required any coffee since we were all awake.

We were getting all sorts of S-turns into SFO even yesterday morning. That marine layer was really messing them up.

B. I'd feel cheap if I didn't. He didn't get my usual "thanks for the safe ride," though... I know he missed that.

You've never stayed in a yoot hostel have you.

I did instantly picture dirty dreadlocks, those rug pullovers, and the latent smell of hemp and incense.

That's what buzz is into, right?

Yep, same dude. He told us his pickup was at 4:40.

And SFO is so screwed up that they can't handle 1700' overcast. We were held at the gate in MSP for 2:30 after our scheduled departure and then drew corkscrews in the sky from SLC to SFO at .74 all the way in. For a major population center, there needs to be better facilities.

Actually, that WAS me at one point. Now, I just want a nice shower, a beer, and a bed.

Glad you survived the reaper on your ride as well, then.

That is unreal how long you guys were held at the gate... we left CVG at 0900 and had to hold for a few minutes. Only the last half of the flight were we pulled back to .75 and then zig zagged from nevada on in. Amazing how things backed up even more as the day progressed. I thought that airport had better capacity than that.

Does everyone get the "Meet Your Asian Lady Here" ad at the bottom of the page or is my device being targeted because of some of the sites it accidentally accessed?

Accidentally?

(the ads go off your surfing history... I get a lot of guitar/music, travel, and goat porn ads.)
