I roll my bike in the livingroom and I'd suddenly become a divorcee.

yea im not very good with a digital camera but i can i do my best. give me a 35mm any day to bad it's so difficult to put them on a computer

I prefer film also (though I do shoot digital, too). Just send your roll of film to mpix.com (they'll send you free postage mailer) and they will make prints and also host digital images for free on their website, where they are easy to share. Kodakgallery.com does the same thing.

How is the Ice Storm Taxmnahog?

My flight got canceled Nash to O'Hare to PVD
The reroute Nash to Dulles to PVD got canceled
The reroute Nash to to Charlotte to PVD finally got me home at 6 pm instead of 4 pm.

Overall I have to be thankful that I did get home, The Mrs Birthday is today!!

-BUT- (The Long Story)

The process was a cluster-Fock the flight I was re-booked to loaded and pushed back away from the terminal on-time, we waited for 45 minutes for deicing, come to find out, the crew was not ~AUTHORIZED~ to use the deicing fluid commonly used at their terminal for the majority of their equipment. The aircraft we were on required NUMBER-4 deicing compound.

Delta and a few other airlines running the same hardware allegedly had #4, but would/could not share it with United, (PS United is in Bankruptcy C11, if I were their competition I would not share ground resources either).

Ironically they participate in a co-share agreement to cover each others butt's to take on misrouted-rerouted-delayed passengers (which was honored).

IIRC this aircraft is highly susceptible to wing icing, recall the crash last year in Buffalo, so taking a flight risk was not high on my agenda.

Sad that United did not have appropriate resources or share agreements with it's partners, yet another example of a company on it's way to the DUST bin.

----
The second cluster, was getting on the US-airway flight, with all the preceding juggling of flight paperwork, I miss placed my ORIGINAL boarding pass (this is the one that has the little scribble that TSA stage one security places on the PASS as they verify your photo ID before you get to the X-RAY station.

Apparently that little scribble is very important to the gate personnel at US-Air, since my ORIGINAL had been traded in for the re-route from O'Hare to DC I could no longer prove to US-AIR that I was safe to board, must a been my terrorist biker look-in attitude was beginning to show!

So I go back up to the Screening check Point, and talk with the Supervisor, he along with the other guards were perplexed, if I had been on the concourse and never left, how could I be a RISK!?!?! "I do not know what they (Airline gate attendants) expect us to do!? Run everyone that has been re-routed, through the security check-point again? It makes no sense! So he scribbles their authorization that my Drivers License Name & Boarding Pass Name Match!

I run back down to the gate, I'm last on board, getting the evil-eye from everyone ~your holding us all up~ look ;-)

Finally off the ground on the way to Charlotte, NC

Arrive Charlotte, 10 minutes to make connecting flight, I made but my checked bag did not.

Arrive at Providence, NO BAG!

Check with the baggage Service, they put out a tracer.

By chance I decided to stay an extra 25 minutes the flight my bag was on originally (United-NASH-Via Dulles-PVD) arrived, so did my bag.

Finally at 7 PM we were on our way home.

[Jeb]

Yup! Sounds like the last time I flew! I am glad you made it!

[Remphoto]

Stories like these are why I'd rather spend two days in the car driving to Florida or Texas rather than two hours in an airplane.

[nelson]

Yesterday we had 8 inches of snow. It's the most we've had in 2 decades.

[nelson]

Oh and BTW Taxman, I'm glad you survived the airline / airport chaos!

[MYCAR47562]
