Airport Schmairport
Okay, does anyone remember way back when I had a horrible flight attendant on a Midwest Airlines flight to Boston? Her name was Suzie and she was throwing a fit because I was something like 25 cents short, and I didn't realize it until after she served me breakfast?
I'll look tonight and find the link to that story.
So, I'm on my way to Boston this morning. First I fly from KC to Milwaukee, then I have to switch planes.
So, this is what happens - I get on the plane, and the flight attendant, Suzie (aggghhhhhH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) greets me, and I could tell by her look that she remembers exactly who I am.
Flight was uneventful, though Suzie was purposely rude to me whenever she got the chance - she'd be super nice to the woman sitting next to me and then be quite short with me. I wonder if I look like the woman who must have stolen her boyfriend in high school or something?
Anyway, we land in Milwaukee, and my flight to Boston has been cancelled.
Blechhh.
But I do have a seat on a plane that leaves at 9:55 am - I'll be about 2 and one half hours later than I expected to.
If Suzie is on that plane, I'll cry. I swear I will!!
[Lemme help, sweetie. Meet Suzie here. -the Armorer]

Let's see if I can stuff this in here. Umph. Urk. Arggghhh.
Okay. Here. Here's my allotment of Irish Luck for the month. this way hopefully you can avoid Suzie and other airways unpleasantness, lame on-site clients, and inclement weather wrecking your return.

I hope that isn't the same luck that prevented the great potato famine.

Ha. We are waiting to see if John gets Suzi the evil flight attendant on his flight here Friday.

Uh-oh. John's flying?
I can see him tryin' to drop something on me from 30K just to see how funny it is. Or to get even for something. And Indiana is in the flight path, I think, for going to the NE from KC---or even going thru O'Hare 30k feet is plenty high enough for him to try an angled shot. I better hide the car under some camo-netting and re-inforce the roof.

There are worse airports to be stuck in than Milwaukee. Did you check out the flight museum? They sing the praises of aviation pioneer Lawson, coiner of the word "airliner" without mentioning his later ideas.
