Why BUF?
I'm thinking BOS, HNL, or PBI.
Edit:
If I were you, I'd drink a cup of starbucks. That has messed up my sleeping schedule before. Sleep longer tonight and wake up refreshed in the morning instead of crashing it early. Waking up at 2 AM doesn't sound so good to me.
But it's your decision.
IF my mom gets this job (company car), I inherit the saab. It's KBB value is already below $15k, so its not worth selling. I discovered in an empty parking lot on a sunday afternoon that it has much more power than I thought cars do. Video games are HORRIBLE at measuring a car's acceleration and brakes. They are too slow of reactors.

Because BUF has some great staff and they are always hiring.
Well I hope your mother was with you....
Also, do you think that Grand Theft Auto is an accurate measure of how to shoot/injure/kill someone?

Edit: I'd like to add ATL to the list as well. Would like to drive one of those electric carts down the concourses all day.
Yes she was with me. I originally didn't want to do it until she convinced me.
I have never seen someone been killed (quite frankly never been to a funeral) but it might be.
I was never saying that only GTA was doing a bad impression. Most video games do. Even Gran Turismo 4, IMO, does a horrible impression although it considers itself "The Real Driving Simulator." Midnight Club 3 is the absolute worst. A VW Jetta does not go from 0 to 100 in 5 seconds.

Ugh. Just realized I'm on a T fare tomorrow, which means I'll have to fork out the $25 roach choice fee for an exit row seat. Just 3 more weeks..... I can manage.... 6 little old flights.

I'm in something like 8A on a DC-9-50 on MSP-DTW on Saturday...all exits/row 5 seats available for pre-reserving are taken
. Award ticket too, so I'm sitting in Y. All will be made up by the fact that hopefully the Yankees will be having a little parade that day down the Canyon of Heroes, plus Springsteen at night.

No chance she would take Dovster. She does not like smokers...
The handicap seats in Row 5 have been snapped up already?

Also ordering a new stadium after next season. Play the 100 year game at Fenway, start off at the new stadium the next day.

This is where being my size really bites. I'm 6'7" and 340lbs (though I've finally decided I'm going to get rid of the weight), and big framed to boot. Bulkhead seats generally don't work for me as my legs don't actually fit in there. In the regular seats, I can at least spill under the armrests a bit (much to the dismay of seat neighbors I know, but even without the weight it was pretty bad) or move the armrest back if I'm lucky enough to have an empty seat next to me.
For me, it's pretty much exit row or I won't be walking by the time I get wherever I'm going.

Really dumb DL medallian newbee question that I'm too embarrassed to start a new thread about. As I recently made silver, am I to expect some sort of identifying card and/or luggage tags in the mail or does my status being in the system suffice to have the benefits?

Status is sufficient for the perks on Delta/Northwest...it'll print on your BP. It normally takes a month for the welcome kit to make its way through the postal system (when I typed that out, I was just having visions of Newman from Seinfeld delivering a Medallion envelope...kinda random).

Well, I can't recollect ever posting here in the Lounge™. Now that the NW & DL forums are merged, I suppose I should occasionally pop in here to see what all the fun is about.
