Airline shutdown (vanity)
January 29, 2009 | me

Vanity - sitting on the tarmac on a USAirways flight from Houston. Pilot announced a "system-wide hard shut down." Anyone know what's up?

Meanwhile is there a chemical plant near him


I dunno, but if they don't secure that damned perimeter they are all screwed.

FYI, there is no Dallas Center. The center is Ft. Worth.

Silly me, that’s my Dallas centricity coming out. Of course it’s in Ft. Worth. Good catch.

Actually, after I posted it I wished I hadn’t. It seemed to be overly pickly without really adding anything relevant to the thread. Sorry.

It’s ok, just don’t tell my brother I made that mistake, he worked there for nearly 20 years, I really should have gotten it right!

“This is US Airways. They were cute when they were first hired...in 1975. ;)”

They were never cute or friendly!

PSA used to have cute and friendly stewardesses but when US bought them out they brought their stuck up east coast attitude with them and everyone quit flying US.

Ok made it to Phoenix- missed my connector but they already had a ticket printed for me on the later flight. So ok

Some small world stuff - a nice gal was talking in the aisle as we were waiting. She had her cell and read my post to her friend sitting in front of me. I did not reveal my true identity though.

Irony - the flight mag www.usairwaysmag.com had a story in it about their spiffy new flight control center and computer system. Chuckle

My no-see socks are not wool and they stay up nicely.

I should be pinged to any further discussions of socks.

Let's not let things get out of hand here.

Are those photos of Golden Retrievers or Blond Labs?
Lovely photos of all things Florida.
I’m 2 months in to a 4 month old Blond Lab. More fun than most anything.
Snake looks like a blue racer.

Not that I've any doubts, dear lady, but what are your qualifications in this area?

I am steady. It's 386wt that introduced this mysterious notion of "no see socks".

And I maintain that wool, whether hvy or light, is the optimal material for socks if one wishes they actually stay up and not drop down around the ankles thus giving one the appearance of a sloppy, unkempt liberal.

Golden retrievers. I don’t have enough energy for labs. ;)

Thanks, I enjoy taking pictures, and S.FL is a great place to do that! Lots of critters, especially reptiles and birds!

Hey, y'all...can you help me out here? My credentials are being questioned. ;-)
