My computer died. After weeks of milking it my wife demanded I go buy a new one. the hardware is fine it's vista- it blows. So I bought a new Toshiba today at Best Buy for $350. Awesome deal to me, only one left in ATL and you couldn't order it. Happy. 17.4" screen.

Pull it out of the box, uploaded MS Office 2010 and was downloading a couple of things and was about to try it out when it got completely barfed on. So it lasted for a hour or so.

See, my 10 month old son was beside me has been sick and well when I picked him up to move him to dinner he let loose. There was a cough, and then projectile vomiting and I have to say his aiming was impeccable and distance was pretty astounding. Of course he hadn't turned his head towards it he wouldn't have hit it. It was about 5' away. Honestly I don't know how any made it to the computer, my pullover and t-shirt were soaked.

But he soaked the screen and keyboard and every crack and crevice including under the keyboard, the keys finally work now. the computer was dripping and white. it was amazing. Of course my daughter learned a new word from dada when he turned his head and saw the computer.

Now I spent the evening cleaning up the keyboard in between two sick kids falling to pieces and one's potty training becoming a disaster from her illness. of course when she fell on the baby that made all that look like child's play.

I need to yellow slip.

my wife wants to yellow slip first though.

In my attempts to "need" to replace my 2007 lappy, I've spilled drinks (adult and family) on it before, sent it down escalators in the airport, and dribbled goodness knows how many crumbs onto it. Stupid thing still keeps trucking.

What was not noted here is that if the company falls out of compliance in a measurement period they have to come back into compliance in 12 months for the 3 year look back period. That means that if they allow Delta to fall even a small amount behind the 48.5 percent number they would have to have a massive increase in flying in the correction year to get back to the rolling 3 year average. It in effect makes its very difficult if not impossible for the company to fall below the average it needs. The routes picked up from AF this winter are to insure the company does not fall into that situation. A significant portion of the reductions to Europe are to allow for the lie flat seat mod on the 7ER fleet. There will be a issue again next winter as they complete the mod line for the aircraft. As we pick up the flying in the Spring AF will pick back up the ORD route. SEA may stick with us.

If the company reaches 49.75% for a 12 month period, all previous capacity share percentages will be disregarded and a new three year measurement period begins.

If we fly 40%, 40%, 49.75% our average will be 43.25 but because of Note Two, Delta is off the hook because it met the 49.75% for the last rolling 12-month period.
One year of nearly 50% flying wipes out all accrued flying-deficit from previous years.
