Here's a neat story from the nbc6 web site in Charlotte:

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The Air Force plans to celebrate U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday by naming its newest C-17 cargo and troop transport plane after the nation's longest-serving senator.

The service will name the 100th C-17 "The Spirit of Strom Thurmond," at a ceremony Dec. 6 at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Rob Koon said Tuesday.

President Bush has invited Thurmond, R-S.C., to the White House in honor of the senator's Dec. 5 birthday.

"We hope the senator will be able to attend the naming event" at Andrews the next day, Koon said. "It will depend upon his health."

Thurmond will retire from the Senate in January and return to his home state. The C-17 named in his honor will be based with the 437th Airlift Wing at Charleston Air Force Base in South Carolina, Koon said in a telephone interview from Washington.

Thurmond, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, enlisted in the Army in World War II. He landed in Normandy as part of the 82nd Airborne Division assault on D-Day and won five battle stars and numerous other awards for his service.

Koon said the naming ceremony will be hosted by Air Force Secretary James Roche and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John Jumper.

Big article this morning, in the Lesher paper here, about the Las Vegas conference and COMDEX. You immediately popped into my thoughts.

[Utah Girl]

Yes, some of us are going to the Spice Market buffet in the Aladdin Hotel. Rumor has it that their buffet is the number one buffet in Vegas, no mean feat in this city full of buffets. And there is a big shopping center connected to the Aladdin hotel, so we're going to wander about for awhile.

[Utah Girl]

Hey back at you! :) Your "light duty" co-worker is leaving on Thursday? Will this make things better or worse at work?

[Utah Girl]

Yes, COMDEX is a huge convention/trade show. Quite exciting for the geeks in this world. :)

In the long run, providing her replacement has a stronger work ethic than she, it will be better.

Just for a month or so it'll be kinda tough doing the work of 3 people...and it's coming up to the busy time of the year.

But i'll manage. I always do somehow.
