Forget that, can you imagine some of the photoshopped images and their captions if you had taken a picture for all to digitally alter?

Next time!!

Maybe it's a base cultural thing, mb times are changing, or mb it's because there are a lot more older dudes, e.g. moi, hanging out in right seats. I'm referring to walk arounds more than anything. The occasional dinner or beer is nice when it happens. Truth be told, I've bought the CA dinner more times then not... but don't let that get out.

I still owe you a few beers, bro. No dinner required.

I thought to myself, "why the hell am I buying rats!, cats probably taste pretty good to a snake!"

You are in the SWA pool aren't you?

Recommend you look in Brighton, or Brighton Township ( I've been for 10 yrs). Hidden Lake is a very nice place, very nice!, but there are other places just as nice, for less $. Also, you are about 13 min drive from the nearest grocery store. Tis beautiful, but dont "lock" into that area.

That has got to be one of the funniest first sentences to a post that I can remember. I didn't even need to read any further.

Always been that way - although ATL (Mecca) still only tolerates the western US. Both LAX and SLC have that kind of culture (flown with a few ex-ATL CAs and it can be tough flying with them). Some day (

All I could think of was, does she fly for us?
