Weird thing is my wife was watching the website and it indicated we had taken off.

All US Airways flights are controlled from Pittsburgh. No flight can depart without clearance from there, so if computers are down in PIT, no go.

Well, all they have to do is keep the planes on the ground and stand down the troops for six days while they build a new firewall that the CIP device can't get through.
Then our buddy Squidpup will be off that plane in less than a week!!!!!

It was AIDS and we all attended his funeral. He did break the gender barrier at the airlines but.....

...and you never mentioned your destination. Maybe it was a place that we find tonight had a natural disaster strike it or something else bad.

Perhaps you were on your way to meet up with an old girlfriend who looks like Miss America and cooks like Julia Child.

People can freak out during these events ........In the mean time you can be entertained by FReepers....
