This weekend is pi day (3/14) and I got an e-mail about a Porsche-related pie event. I thought "I don't get enough e-mails about free pie"

"I don't want customers" is a bold business strategy

1) I appreciate that the machines in Chase Sapphire lounges have an oatmilk option so I don't have to ask
2) Usually the only barista coffee I get in a lounge is Alaska, which you already mentioned in the post
3) As far as art, I think it's cool when it has the airline's logo! (& it tasted good too)

What’s funny is, it was always operated by German Airways, it said that when I bought the ticket. (maybe it did change at some point that was before I bought my ticket, though)

As oil prices soar, remember: It was four days ago when Trump said he helped “stabilize” gas prices, touting the “decisive action” his administration took “to help keep down the oil prices.”

Yeah, about that...

one under-appreciated side benefit of working from home (beyond the obvious no commute, etc.) is being able to cry whenever you need to without anyone seeing/hearing

KLM sent me an e-mail and I'm not sure if I've seen an e-mail like this before!

I've had a lot of ups and downs lately, but if I'm meant to date again someday, there will be a similar "bus breakdown" moment of random chance. That's the only way it can happen, so I can't let myself be stressed about it. Either it will happen randomly or it won't, and I can't control the outcome.

The only reason my ex and I reconnected as adults is that I was commuting by bus for my MBA internship and one morning, the bus broke down. I decided to get off and walk to the stop for my connecting bus. He saw me on the street and e-mailed me that night. There's no way I could have planned that.

It's wild that Joe Sasto met his wife because she saw him on TV and slid into his DMs, lol

Having a guy just randomly come out of nowhere is basically my strategy, so glad to hear it worked for someone else.

In a hotel room, a brick wall that has obviously had a huge hole repaired

Pretty sure the Kool-Aid man stayed in this hotel room once

the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Speaking of which, when @sedna51.bsky.social and I were recently at the Naval Academy Museum, they had a couple of displays related to keeping the official time.

I set my watch to time.gov like it's a military operation

I told Andrew that I hate text messages unless it's him, that's what good friends we are, lol

I have so much to catch up on this weekend, seems a little unfair that I'm about to lose an hour. (of course, it would be better if the time didn't change at all)

I could get into a prayer that's just listing all the various foods in an airport lounge. #SNL

Daily flight operations for major UAE airlines + Qatar Airways. Air Arabia now includes combined Air Arabia and Air Arabia Abu Dhabi flights.

Qatar operated 6 flights from Doha on Saturday, marking the first flights since 28 Feb. The first arrival in Doha lands in about 30 min.

Also cleaning out photos, I found another meme I saved from FB, lol

Then I was only home a few days before I went to Phoenix for my ill-fated Mariners game. The auto museum was neat, though, and the weather was great, so it was still good. And I always like taking a quick walk through the airport art at PHX.

We ate at one of the Sapphire Dining places, which was good (small plate, tapas-style situation), walked around in the Gaslamp Quarter a little bit, took the ferry to Coronado so he could see the Del. So we did quite a bit for a day & a half!

Finally downloaded my photos from the last two trips! First up: San Diego. @apoure25.bsky.social and I went to the air & space museum. It was fine, but not really worth the steep price. I did see Snoopy, though (and Brad!). At least the waterfront & Midway you can see by just walking past.

aww, that's too bad!

It's too bad that you can't pick a seat online with Aer Lingus (because I booked with Alaska miles) and I should have called as soon as I booked, but I guess better late than not at all and waiting until check in.
