To watch BOWLING!

You beat me to it! He was gone when I went by.

Sounds more like a grain silo!

Ever consider Thailand?

Augie; so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Our sincerest condolences to you and your family, and may God bless you..

Does "the math" account for Ol'Whitey & Whaley? Absent that brain trust maybe we would have been more successful.

Hi how-are-ya, Hi-how are ya!

That's very true and they really hated each other. Visited Dachau a couple years ago. It's about :40 E of Munich. Russia has an Orthodox shrine built there remembering their troops. The guide said no Russians usually died in the gas chamber. That was because as soon as they arrived, they were shot in the head!

They're already mostly brain dead!

Not enough ketchup in the world to be able to choke that down.

Find out what Andy Dalton likes, and buy him a case.

Ralph kept Wade from being Wade. We all know how that worked out.

Born & raised in BUF. Had to drive up from Richmond 12-14, for a wedding. !2-14 across PA was no problem. Arrived BUF with no problem BUT 12/15 got nailed. We were staying at one of the Salvatore Hotels on Transit, not too far from the accident. Even though i grew up with this, I have never driven through "snow bands!" I left in 1970, so doppler radar has improved quite a bit but if I ever hear about snow bands again, I'm parking till it's over. Never recall even hearing about such a thing.

Will they clean you out too??

A sign of KC insanity?

Amarillo is about 3600' above sea level. It does get cold on the high plains in the winter.

Yes, I miss Car Talk!

Sounds like a law firm to me!

Delta's 747 has 48 Business Class seats and another 42 Economy with the extra legroom, I believe they're on the upper deck. After that, you go into economy, and if you want to sleep, find a middle row, raise the armrests, and stretch out. It's only a little over 2hrs to BUF, so how much sleep time would you need? Terry seems to favor 747's which is too bad because most of them are now gone from the USA. BUF has 8800+ on 5-23. Runway length is not an issue for 747's.

It might bring some warmth, this time of year?

From what I've seen, "the neighborhood has changed!" I was in Cologne in 2015, and met a USN couple who were on leave/vacation. They told me that they had orders to stay out of Belgium, because of terrorist activity. I met them one month after the Bataclan event in Paris, security was already heightened, there was a New years eve riot in the Cologne train station, and a couple of months later significant terrorist event started in Brussels, and the area. It's a beautiful part of Europe that's being trashed!

Now that the "glow" has calmed, have to say that Airports are not equipped to handle this type of activity. I was working at Dulles in maybe 77 when the Redskins won the championship. Same deal! Come out to Dulles to "greet the Redskins!" That was a normal eastern time afternoon game, so not a midnight arrival. At that time the Dulles access road was 2 lanes between I-495 and the airport. About 30-40 minutes before the plane arrived, I was in the tower and as far as you could see, looking east, were headlights, and they were not moving. The first problem happened when some impatient driver decided to drive on the shoulder of the road. They worked fine till he got to an underpass, at which time, he couldn''t stop, and the car went down the embankment. Next drama was in the actual terminal. Word was that after all that, the Redskins had departed Dulles, via a service road, to Redskins Park, and nobody was going to see the team. 1 or 2 people were pushed through plate glass windows at the restaurant. So you have fans who have had a few drinks during the game, and maybe should NOT be driving, trying to get to the airport, where they are not going to do/see what they were expecting. Fast forward to now, we're 16+ years past 9/11. There are layers of airport security that didn't exist in the 70's. Everything is secure with monitored perimeter fences and monitored security gates, and unless your thing is standing and shouting over a 10-12 foot fence in freezing temps, in the dark, the better option is to stay home, stay warm, and let the TV people cover whatever non-event is happening at the airport.

Somewhere in the cold, dark, snow, with a bunch of loud drunks, kind of like a reverse tailgate situation without the food.

I had been working for the same company for 31 years, looking forward to retirement. Then 9-11 happened in 2001, the company went CH-11 in 2002, I "retired" in 2003, and we lost a big piece of our pension in 2004 because the "bankrupt" company couldn't pay us what we earned and were promised. The old bankrupt company "emerged" from bankruptcy, and are doing quite well now. The retirees are another story! The good news is that I found a new job in 2004, and retired from that in 2016, with a small, but very much appreciated pension, and now the BILLS are in the playoffs! .

There's no ready access to the cargo facility. There's a reason they're arriving there, and that is "limited access." Unless you have a valid badge, you don't get in.
