8757. "The weather is wonderful throughout the southeast, with temps in the 60s and blue skies. Except for one very angry cloud following an airplane. Atlanta airport will be preemptively closed just to mess with the passenger in seat 32A."

8758. "This just in: Amazon has purposely delayed said passenger's order so he won't have a long-anticipated book to read by the time he leaves. The mail carrier plans to leave the box on the doorstep in the rain 15 minutes after Mr P leaves for the airport."

8764 after nearly 2 weeks in England we flew back into JFK, caught a shuttle bus to LaGuardia... that's when I realized that in all the time in the UK, we had never hit a single pothole...

8766. First trip to England: Rain in Atlanta delayed my flight, I missed the flight to Amsterdam by 10 minutes. They couldn't rebook me for FOUR DAYS, until I learned the secret: Go to Expedia and find the flights you want, call the airline, cancel your itinerary, have them credit the fare to you, then ask them to book you on the flights you found on Expedia and offer to pay the difference. Once it's your money again, they lose the ability to tell you what flights to take.

8767. Second flight to England. Supposed to land at London Gatwick, but southern England was hit by the worst snow in over 50 years. We land at Heathrow and are bused to Gatwick, which is, of course, closed. The people who were to pick me up were snowed in 50 miles away. A stroke of luck and good connections saved the day, however.

8769. You're right, Kelly. Even the minor roads were in great shape.
