Had my next Vegas airfare all cued up last night, but didn't pull the trigger. My experience has been that the best rates on Southwest are 75-85 days out, and we aren't there yet.

OTOH, demand in September seems even higher than normal. I may be too cheap frugal for my own good. :oldunsure:

Hopper is a good app for providing information on the best time to buy particular flights.  I think Kayak is also including a price-prediction feature now.

Downtown possibly even worse. Life Is Beautiful music festival on your weekend. I'm looking at 7th-12th for NFL Week One. And I'm using miles on Southwest...I'm just such a miser.

:lmao:

We'll go downtown for a night but I don't think I could ever convince our group to stay there for the whole trip

Binge drinking is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as men consuming five or more alcoholic drinks in less than two hours, and women consuming four or more alcoholic drinks in less than two hours

So lets just say that I consume 10 drinks in less than 4 hours. Does that mean I count 3 times, once for each 2 hour binge?

WSJ sent a photographer to our little office today.  Article should be out soonish.  Pretty cool to be a tiny part of this.

I missed what "this" is. 

is it good, or bad?

oh- a picture of me "working" is in a fluff piece about my boss in architectural digest... or online. I'm hideous.

 
So yesterday the bus I was riding in (on our way to Disneyland) was sideswiped by some jaggle.  We had to pull over while the CHP took all the info.  I was outside the bus talking to Ponch and John when one of my students took a pic from inside the bus.

After it we get back on the road the kid tells me "look at this picture I took...you've got your hands behind your back and talking to the cops.  It looks like you're handcuffed."  He asked if he could share it on Instagram and tell everybody that I was arrested.  I said absolutely.

After about 10-15 minutes there must have been 20 comments thinking that it was real.  Including a ton of kids that were riding on different busses.  

 He then asks "what should I say you were arrested for?".

I told him "something sophisticated like 'sports card forgery' and 'smuggling rare belt buckles".    Some kids still didn't get the joke.

Anyone else start using USPS informed delivery?  I started this week and I'm kind of enjoying it.

so now you get to see the junk mail in your mailbox before you get home?

does this make you just skip checking the thing so your mail has been piling up?

Quite the opposite.  I actually look at my mail because I had a preview of how worthless it is and can throw it away without thinking I'm too drunk to decide.

stupid kids.

 
I'm at my nephew's high school graduation.  It's 9:15 and we've made it halfway through the Bs, god help me.

There are 142 valedictorians in this class.  Not making that up.  Is being valedictorian just a participation trophy now?

Also, one of the class officer positions is Vice President of Social Media.  WTF?

Also also, get off my lawn.

Enjoying a 12 pack of Amstel Xlight tonight.

As good as any light beer, I guess. But only 2 carbs a can, and maintains a 4.2 ABV, so you can get drunk if you drink them fast enough

sometimes i forget that my wife was raised in a family that didn't talk directly to each other. not about major family issues. not about things that bothered them. i mean.. anything.

need ketchup that's in front of your mom's plate? better ask your brother to ask your mom if she can pass the ketchup to you.

and on it goes

problem: things still need to get done via calls to... contractors, let's say. but she won't call them so i end up doing it. but since i'm not her and i don't know what questions she wants answered, what answers will be satisfactory to her, what follow up questions she will ask, etc.  the information i relay back to her is insufficient and she gets mad.

instead of then taking the initiative to follow up on her own.. she continues to harangue me until i either snap, give up & the subject gets dropped and what needs to get done, doesn't get done or i do the #### on my own.

net/net: i'm doing everything, she's doing nothing and i'm taking all the heat

i need a beer(s)x12

I'm going to be in Wisconsin this weekend and in an effort to fit in with the locals, I plan on doing a lot of binging.

Are you going to work in the cheese mines?  Don't forget your cheese shovel otherwise you will have to buy one from the mine owner.
