Nothing that dramatic.

Today we're going tramping in the woods to cut down our Christmas tree.

For $5 you can go into the national forest and harvest your own.

It's a good time, but last year it was maybe 10 degrees at the warmest part of the day.

It's 5 right now.

This house is spoiling me.

[ungeheuer]

Try to see it from the tree's perspective.

I would take 5 and dry over 46 and rain right now. I need the Jeep to be DRY on Saturday. At least till I get my pile of cash!

I like Alaska airline.

What is it that you like about them? They had sort of a shoddy start, but after that MD 80 accident with the screw jack failure I get the Impression that they have improved and stepped things up.

You do have a point.

I'm sure it will be dying to get indoors

Flight 261, an McDonnell Douglas MD-83, plunged into the Pacific Ocean near Point Mugu, California while preparing to attempt an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport en route from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to San Francisco and Seattle, killing all 88 people on board. In its final report, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined the cause of the accident to be failure of acme nut threads which were part of the jackscrew assembly for the horizontal stabilizer's trim system. The failure of the acme nut threads happened because of insufficient lubrication of the jackscrew assembly which was the result of Alaska's extended lubrication and inspection intervals and from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) approval of those intervals. NTSB also found that the lack of a fail-safe mechanism for the failure of the acme nut threads on the MD-80 design contributed to the accident. This incident, along with an earlier ValuJet Flight 592 crash, led to closer FAA oversight of airline maintenance operations.[137] The accident was also the subject of episode 6, season 1, of the documentary series, Mayday.[138]

MoreNing.

JetBlue has always been good to me.  

Every airline has its problems if you look for them.  As long as you walk off the plane at your destination and collect your luggage, consider their job done right.

JD powers rates Alaska well..

Alaska Airlines' sister carrier, Horizon Air, is closely integrated into Alaska's operations, with Alaska and Horizon sharing many routes. Both airlines are owned by Alaska Air Group. In 2014, J. D. Power and Associates ranked Alaska Airlines highest in customer satisfaction of traditional airlines for the seventh consecutive year.[5][6]

One of my friends and his entire family were killed on that flight.  He was also a pilot.  Must have sucked to know it was over, for so long, before it was.  Not a fan of that plane either.  I refuse to fly on a dreamliner.
