Okay, anything I planned to do between 7pm Tuesday 12/10/02 and oh, say, Sunday morning 12/15/02 is null and void. I'm heading to Cleveland.

Actually, I'm heading to Detroit. You would not BELIEVE the airfare difference. I can get from San Jose to Cleveland for close to seven hundred smackers, but if I'm willing to drive to Oakland airport (an hour or so) and fly the redeye and wait two hours for a car rental place to open and then drive from Detroit to Cleveland (three hours or so), well, then I can get there and back for just over

two
hundred
dollars

I am impressed. Even with a car rental I'm easily coming out ahead. Of course, the timing isn't very convenient, because this airline has exactly one flight that day. But hey. For an out-of-work gal this is an excellent deal.

I hope these aircraft have engines.

I love the B-52! They like to tell the story about a B-52 being escorted by a fighter jet (pick a jet, any jet *grin*). The jet does a fancy maneuver (loop, roll, pick something impressive) and the hot rock fighter jock boasts to his larger brethen "Top that!" The BUFF pilot replies "OK, Lets see if you can do this." They travel on for awhile and nothing appears to be happening. So the fighter jock goes "Top what?" The BUFF pilot responds "I just shut down two engines, can you do that?"
