...in the Flagship lounge after spending the night on the floor of the terminal was lifesaving. (Yeah, they started handing out hotel vouchers at 1AM, while saying we needed to check back in at the gate at 7 AM. Fuck that shit. We were both soldiers. Wasn't the first time we'd slept on a floor.)

Yeah. I'm just up the road from Mother Angelica's fancy basilica and all. Am not Catholic, (although all my mother's family are,) but have never been impressed by all the arguments about how the changes after Vatican II are all heretical. Shit changed after every other ecumenical council.

When I lived in Springfield, I'd either take the bus in to the Trailways station, or drive in, get off near the Prudential Center, and park in the garage at Dalton and Scotia. Either way, it was the T after that.

Last time I looked, Boston still had 3 one-way dead-end streets. Everyone local knows about them and pretends they are 2-way. They were normal 1-way streets until construction of the MassPike Extension ate their other ends. Natch, the City Council can't be arsed to formally make them 2-way again.

Reminds me of the following: User: "No, I can't see my cursor." Help Desk: "Why not?" User: "Everything is dark." Help Desk: "Everything is dark?" User: "Yes. The power in the building is out."

They will do that. I recommend cultivating them with a flamethrower.
