. . . Or, rather, my Thanksgiving travel plans are cancelled. For the second day in a row, my flight out has been a no-go (the first time due to weather conditions, this second time due to a mechanical error that couldn't be fixed in time to get me to Boise for my connecting flight). Overflow space on other flights is vanishingly small, thanks to ( Read more... )
