Check out
And pick up several for Crimmsu 17529. judithathome - 11/16/2005 5:26:23 PM Woke up to 33 degrees this morning and it won't get above the mid-50s today. At least it's sunny! 17530. jexster - 11/16/2005 5:36:50 PM Numa..Numa: Dance and Song 17531. Ms. No - 11/16/2005 5:37:08 PM Ooh! Maybe I'll get to wear my coat when I'm in Dallas, then!
17532. judithathome - 11/16/2005 5:49:23 PM It's going to be in the mid to low 60s all week, into next week. I'd bring a coat! 17533. Magoseph - 11/16/2005 5:58:07 PM You too are going to get together, when? 17534. Ms. No - 11/16/2005 6:34:44 PM Oh, yay! The weather here won't make up its mind and stick to Fall. It's been in the 80's the last couple of days and we're on brushfire alert.
17535. Ms. No - 11/16/2005 6:36:46 PM Mags,
Always! We haven't picked a day yet, but I know Keoni and I both get into town on Sunday. 17536. judithathome - 11/17/2005 12:02:47 AM Hmmmmm....Keoni has a layover in LA, too. Hmmmm...... 17537. Ms. No - 11/17/2005 1:19:20 AM Is he flying on the 20th? 17538. judithathome - 11/17/2005 2:07:25 AM The 19th, I think...he arrives here at 5am on Saturday.
Has anyone heard from Frankster lately? 17539. Magoseph - 11/17/2005 4:55:25 PM Well, I haven't, Judith--How are you this morning? Our first snow came last night. The roads are clear, but lawns are still sprinkled with it and it won't last since the sun is very bright.
Hello, everyone. 17540. judithathome - 11/17/2005 4:57:52 PM Our lawns were covered with frost this morning...first frost this year, too.
Also, the electricity went out last night for a couple of hours...good thing we didn't freeze! 17541. Magoseph - 11/17/2005 5:04:44 PM Now, who is "we? 17542. Magoseph - 11/17/2005 5:07:04 PM Oh, I forgot Klaus. 17543. judithathome - 11/17/2005 5:35:03 PM He'd be crushed that you forgot him!
Found out at the vet's yesterday that Klaus has a slight heart murmur. He said it is common in dogs Klaus' age...he'll be 17 next month. I figure it isn't that drastic since he didn't suggest any medicene for him. 17544. Magoseph - 11/17/2005 5:48:33 PM How old would he be as a human? 17545. Ms. No - 11/17/2005 5:56:20 PM Juditha,
He's flying the day before me and if he's got a layover here it would likely be through LAX rather than Burbank where I'm flying out of.
Too bad! Keoni would be a delightful seat-mate for the flight. 17546. judithathome - 11/17/2005 7:23:44 PM MsNo, he would think the same of you!! Just have to settle for dinner on Monday, I guess. ;-)
Magos, they say dog's years equal 7 of human's lives so he'd be 119, I guess. Hope I look and feel as good as he does at that age...ha! 17547. alistairconnor - 11/18/2005 11:10:01 AM The trouble I had in getting to Alcobendas
Checked in at 6.45 on Wednesday morning, at Lyon St Exupéry airport. Fine so far...
The trouble starts when I put my kangaroo pouch through the scanner. Would you mind opening that sir? Not one, but two sharp knives (an Opinel and a Laguiole). What the hell was I thinking? I wasn't.
I don't want to walk away from these two fine artifacts. My colleague generously offers to check his bag -- we each only had carry-on luggage - and puts my knives in it. So we're good to go.
On the plane, a regional 50-seater, they announce that there is fog in Madrid, there will be a short delay before takeoff, but the weather is clearing. After an hour, they kick us off the plane, and we sit in transit for.... two hours or so.
Back on the bus to go out to the plane again, they announce that we will take off OK... but no guarantee of being able to land in Madrid. If not, we'll be diverted to Valencia. Hey, that's only 400 km away... hire a car, and we could be in Madrid by... 5 or 6pm. Not bad for an overnight business trip eh? I suppose that's why they didn't tell us earlier... they don't want people backing out.
In the event, we are able to land, and we reach our final destination in Alcobendas, an industrial suburb of Madrid, a mere three and a half hours late.
The return was also somewhat eventful, but mercifully shorter.
