And if somehow God continues to heap love upon Auburn, and they make it past a good Mizzou and OSU to play FSU, I'm going to have a lot of gifs for the king of gifs, Mr 80.
but they've got a ways to go and so I'll keep the powder dry.

As opposed to wetting the powder. Why would I wet the powder? And why call it powder? Wasn't there something more manly to call the powder?

In the end, the British reached an understanding with the Irish. To date, nobody has been as successful with the MD-88.

Reserves available are below reserves (allegedly) required meaning you can't have that time off (or swap into that off time). Have to watch the reserves avail chart. Sometimes folks will pop back up off military leave or medical leave and repopulate the day sufficiently for you to then get what you want.

Speaking of Auburn, remember Saturday was Daylight Saban Time: set your clocks back 1 second.

Clearing the runway ...
New 2015 Mustang. A lot of the design philosophy hearkens back to the Mustang, no, not that one, the one built by North American. A lot of subtle aviation themed features ....

Yeah Theresa Wise. But her hands were tied when Deltamatic was given a fifth or sixth decade of life as Delta's brains and Richard decided NWA's systems were too expensive to run even though they were superior.
Still enjoy watching uur gate agents; still need 5 minutes to rebook passengers versus the drop and drag of NWA's AOP.

Wide,
You might be able to drop with negative reserves if you are willing to use your once a year Authorized Personal Drop (APD). THe APD will work with down to 25% reserves available. Example if 16 reserves are required you would be allowed to drop all the way down to 5 reserves available. 5-1 = 4 which is 25% of 16.
The APD does have some Holiday restrictions so it might not work over Christmas +/- a couple of days but you never know.

The days that APD rules do not apply are in the contract but you can still use an APD on the days listed as being restricted. The only difference is that the normal APD reduction in reserves required to drop do not apply. The advantage is that APDs run before PDs so if the day in question is still net positive but very tight, you may still be able to drop Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. Obviously this would probably only work for the first PCS run of a bid period.
