Hmm, some folks might cotton on to those numbers not matching the fabric of the religious structure there.

Count is at 2712 ten minutes after this story was posted. Will be interesting to see how much the count goes up after the story is viewed.

I am a member of a three person department, that just got "right-sized" to two, because the salesforce isn't moving product. I'll be taking my first two vacation days next week (of three weeks available), having only used three floating holidays so far. Oh how I wish we could get unused vacation days paid out......

True, but you don't need a background check to purchase an upper.

Teach a man to fish, and he'll forget about eating.

2012 is no different than any year over the last 30 in that respect, I'd bet.

Just for fun, I dropped this into Google Translate, with auto-detect turned on. It thought it was Swedish.

To be more specific, you can bring drinks on, but they have to be purchased after security check. Otherwise, they still have to meet the 3oz. rule.

OP is likely flying as a charter captain, not scheduled commercial.

If you're worried about Orwell, THIS is the system to be afraid of. They're getting your fingerprints in an institutional fashion, and not just capturing those of processed criminals later on.

Works great for videoconferencing, or sending a quick diagram thousands of miles. Draw it on a white board, then share or snap a picture.

The town I grew up in had a roundabout that circled a monument, but I left it before I started driving. After college, I moved near two towns that have greenspace in the middle of the village, forcing a roundabout pattern. Locals, including tractor trailers, pass through it problem-free. Last month, I spent a few days in Sweden with a rental. I drove more roundabouts in a day than I had driven in over 20 years of US driving, and the only time I didn't feel perfectly safe is when I couldn't clearly see the entrance to the circle on my left. A new one is going in right now in the next town, but people are fearful. Why? Because they've not driven in them before. After two months, I bet things will be just fine.

Got back from a work trip to Sweden last week. ROC-IAD and IAD-CPH were fine going over. Coming back, CPH-ORD was cool. Then it got weird. My ORD-ROC flight wasn't even on the board (because it was still 4 hours before departure), but an earlier one that was delayed still hadn't left yet. I got on standby for that one, and got in an hour before my originally scheduled arrival at 0015. Good thing I did - my flight got bumped to 0220 arrival, and then got cancelled outright. Still wondering where my checked bag of dirty laundry is.....
