Detroit has put Martin Frk on wvrs per LeBrun.

This will be seen as insensitive by some. Oh well. Airplanes have limited space and we all have to share that space. If you are going to take up more than one seat, pay for it. I don't care if that's for your baby, or for your left thigh, or for your double bass, or whatever. Pay for the space you use. I'm not switching seats. I'm anxious enough being cooped up. There's a reason why I paid $15 or $30 for extra leg room on the aisle, and it's not because I'm 6'5". It's because even that perceived 2% of extra freedom makes me considerably less anxious. Also: If there is a middle seat, and a person is sitting in it, that person gets both armrests if they want them. End of story.

I've seen no such correlation on JetBlue, which is easily the airline I fly most often. Last time I flew something else, it was United, and there were like 7 different boarding groups just for coach! (I also got to fly back first class for free *and* got almost $1000 because they screwed up, which was nice.) Do you even have an airport in Halifax?

Maybe

Yeah, I gave seats on the glass to some guy back in December because I had to leave early (trial following day). Guy was a jerk.

I'm the opposite here. If you're taking away from my preparation time or possibly making me late for something important, I'm going to be angry. If I have to chill out and read a book for a while on the way home, fine by me.

From what I understand, your "boarding zone" (I can't stand that misuse of the word) is determined by how often you fly a particular airline and whether you are a member of their frequent flyer program. So among regular ol' coach flyers, if you're a member of the program, you'll be in "zone" 1. If you fly an airline frequently, you'll be in zone 2. Infrequently, zone 3. Never heard of you before and you booked the cheapest ticket at the last minute? Zone 4. Etc. This allows the airlines to take better care of their more frequent customers. It's also nonsense, and if people in the rear of the plane would just have stopped putting their stuff in overhead bins toward the front, it never would have been a problem requiring a solution to begin with.

They used to load them back to front before this whole "boarding zone" nonsense started up.

Honestly, they need to pipe a modest tranquilizer through the HVAC systems in airports.

That game was so much fun.

No suite tonight?

It's pouring down rain. It's loud. It'll be a little bit before I can sleep. But I'll sleep, eventually, with the knowledge of a Sabres win, and a big win at that.

Very nice win over a division leader!

It was PA's Impala and we all know it.

$9 on Amazon today. Honestly, everyone should have one for when the other stuff goes down.

LARSSON!!!!!

Mine is back and EIchel just took someone HARD into the boards.

This is why I still keep a $9 transistor radio around.

My stream is dying ?

But I was told just last month how genius the Bruins are in the draft.

Oh, I hope so. I've only cried once because of sports, and it was 1980. Yes, I was a child then. And 2007 wasn't enough revenge.

We need to talk.

The last time I brought a shirt that wasn't non-iron on a business trip, Clinton was president. What is the matter with you?

Yes. Yes, you are. And I feel normal again. May God bless you. ?
