We flew Southwest at the beginning of the month for the first time since 2001 (BWI was a nightmare for the first 18 months after *it* happened) and the efficiency and lack of B.S. was stunningly wonderful. I'm up to my neck in election stuff but if you want to try to get together for a cup of coffee (we've only got a couple thousand varieties in the DC metro area) let me know.

You never saw THEM creating any problems with the Enterprise. Wait...I take that back. I can think of three episodes off the top of my head. When are those food replicators coming on line?

I had a meeting in the city this morning, and I was coming across the bridge around noon-ish, and I thought, hm, I could give Jim Carson a ring and see if he's available for lunch. But too bad for both of us - you weren't in, and I just rode on home and had lunch without you. Poor you, to be on the road so much - and to miss such wonder cycling weather!

And that hazard suit is classic. As in classic sci-fi spacesuit. :) Anyway, what a weird incident. A malfunctioning food heater doesn't seem enough reason to turn around (could be quite common; on my trip to Japan, where even the unwashed masses rate a hot meal, I ended up with cold pasta; the attendant apologized because the "heaters weren't working") -- but one that's venting toxic fumes seems much more of a reason to get back to the ground. Glad you're safe! How disturbing! And that hazard suit is classic. As in classic sci-fi spacesuit. :) Anyway, what a weird incident.
