Dumb things that have happened to me on this trip. The flight from SLC was delayed because the plane had mechanical problems in Baltimore. The flight from Atlanta was delayed because the air conditioning wasn't working. When I printed my boarding passes it also printed out an emergency contact form for me to complete. In Salt Lake they told me they would take it when I boarded in Atlanta. In Atlanta they said they didn't know what it was and didn't want it. When I asked about an upgrade at the gate to Business class, I was told I needed to do it on line 48 hours in advance. So they lost the sale of at least one of the three open seats they had. It was OK thought, there was no one in the seat next to me, so I had plenty of room. When I checked in on line for my flight from Copenhagen to Stockholm, I couldn't have access to a printer for my boarding pass, The website said I could print it at the airport. When I got to the airport I found I couldn't print my boa...

Today it was 93 degrees Fahrenheit (34 Celsius) in Salt Lake City. And they were starting to put the Christmas lights up on the trees. I see it happen every year, and every year I think it can't be happening yet. But it is. "And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath." Acts 2:19

From the Associated Press - "Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says it would be 'deeply irresponsible' for the Obama administration to support a wholesale extension of the Bush era tax cuts, including breaks for the wealthy." When was the last time you heard a politican say that it would be "deeply irresponsible" to raise the national debt to over 13 trillion dollars? Yeah, that's what I thought.
