Hilarious. By far the best explanation I've heard on PBS

This can not be true. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, or the law of averages or something would result in a few of them bones falling on the weekend.

That is your PBS password. Make sure Caps Lock is off and the leading/trailing zeroes are in the number. If that doesn't work, call the help desk.

Default ST Paul Hotel

Guys,

Are there any gyms or YMCAs near the Downtown ST Paul Hotel? Nice Hotel, Nice location, but the fitness center is a joke. Two treadmills, of which one works good, a broken Cybex nautilas type machine, dumbells but not a single exercise bench, oh yeah, and broken glass on the floor from a broken mirror where apparantly the duct tape repair did not cut it.

Is there a reason that we don't layover in downtown MSP anyway?

We used layover in downtown MSP till say two years ago. Great hotel and location but the gym was even poorer. We switched for a better rate and they combined the layover and training hotel..The volume I'm sure gave them the $$$$ saving they wanted.

Heyas Scoop,

Actually, there is, and its probably a 10 minute walk through the Skyway (you don't need to go outside) to find it. I'm trying to remeber the name of the building, but it's the one with Cray Computers located in it. From the hotel, sort of walk around the Skyway counter clockwise, and that's how I bumped into it.

Just follow the Skyway from the hotel until you come to that building. The Y is located on the Skyway level, behind the Cray offices.

Downtown Minne is probably another 15-20 minutes from the airport, at least, more in traffic. There's not much there that you can't find in STP.

So did someone do their math wrong in that memo, or did I miss the memo about us getting another 17 new/used MD90's?
I heard a nasty rumor that the MD88/90 mods are on hold. It appears the single galley in front of first class isn't cutting it. I was told too many first class passengers complained about all four FAs going back and forth past them to get to the only galley and trash bins.

Anyone hear the same?

I think you can get a free pass to a fitness center from the front desk. Just ask them.

I think the front desk will give you a free pass if you are not a member.
