Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I would believe them Jesse. There were several times at LAX when 90 minutes was cutting it way too close.
Seriously? Oy. This is why I hate flying anything that's not the USAir Shuttle.
Fats Domino? The pool player?
I believe you are thinking of Minnesota Fats.
I just got an email from the airline, saying I should get to the airport two hours early tomorrow. I will already have my boarding pass at that point. Is there any way just going through security will take two hours? I mean, REALLY.
If you're checking luggage, you might need 2 hours.
Seriously? Oy.
Seriously, and that was with only carry on luggage (or what Jessica said).
If you're checking luggage, you might need 2 hours.
I am not checking luggage. All I have to do is go through security and to the gate.
Eh. It's not a huge problem for me to get there early, I'll just be cranky as my travel time is doubled.
Fats Domino? The pool player?
Piano, ya kook. He did "Ain't That A Shame" and "Blueberry Hill."
But Corwood, cocaine is so passé!
I just figured that you hire a fisherman to fish, y'know, so let the man do what he's best at.
Damn job, making me all x-posty.
Which airport? I was sitting on my ass at LGA for 90 minutes last weekend because the cab ride was much less traffic-y than I'd expected. But that was before the hurricane -- I don't know if/how much that's changed things for NYC airports or not.
Meanwhile, on another planet: [link] Spirit Rover has an awesome view from the top of a really big hill.
t eta I especially like the top image here: [link] . You can see the rover's robotic arm in the foreground.
a nervous tic or something
Note to world: you're not "folksy" if you have to rehearse it.
I think it is a nervous tic; we saw it in the 2004 debates, when he was clearly floundering for safe ground. Even knowing it's probably unconscious, it's still pretty irritating, as personal habits go.
Oh man.
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin issued "a desperate SOS" for the thousands of people stranded in an around the city's convention center with no food or water and fading hope.
CNN's Chris Lawrence described "many, many" bodies, inside and outside the facility on New Orleans' Riverwalk. (Watch report on the desperate conditions at the convention center -- 4:36 )
The alert comes as violence and lawlessness disrupted efforts to get help to people around the city.
Charity Hospital has halted patient evacuations because it has come under sniper fire, according to Dr. Tyler Curiel, who witnessed the incident.
"There are multiple people dying at the convention center," Lawrence said. "There was an old woman, dead in a wheelchair with a blanket draped over her, pushed up against a wall. Horrible, horrible conditions.
"We saw a man who went into a seizure, literally dying right in front of us."
In a statement Thursday, Nagin said that "currently the convention center is unsanitary and unsafe and we are running out of supplies for (15,000 to 20,000) people."
He said the city would allow people to march up the Crescent City Connection to the Westbank Expressway.
People were "being forced to live like animals," Lawrence said, surrounded by piles of trash and feces.
He said thousands of people were just laying in the ground outside the building -- many old, or sick, or caring for infants and small children.
Video from the scene showed a group chanting 'we want help, we want help,' as mothers tried to console their tired and hungry children.
Just no words
Edit: OK that just didn't belong right after the previous post.
