The longest thread ever

Ah, pastrami. Now the essence of life itself!

Wow. I haven't visited this thread in 3-4 days. I'm glad not much has changed.

[devildeac]

I could probably cram about ten pounds of Pastrami into a large Zoe bag.

Please let us know when you are going to the Carnegie to pick it up for us...

[devildeac]

Oooh! Road trip!

As a side note to the salmonella police, I finished the leftovers today for lunch. I'll let you know if I have any problems...

TMI...

And now, for my travel saga.

Trip #1 - From Seattle to Omaha via Denver - flight delays on each segment, but no more than 1/2 hour each way.

Trip #2 - Drive from Omaha to Minneapolis and back - COLD. On the way up, blowing snow on the freeways the ENTIRE trip. Visibility dropped to about 10 feet way too frequently. Sunny on the way home, and luckily beat the forecast freezing sleet coming in that night.

(Trip for Mr. DA - 7" of snow leaving Seattle, greeted in Omaha by the freezing sleet.)

Trip #3, Part A - Monday, Dec. 22 - Made it out of Omaha, but stuck in Denver at 12PM, b/c all flights into Seattle cancelled. Made it to all buildings in the Denver airport, including the New Belgium Brewery (see Ymm Beer thread.) Told we could be #'s 96-97 on standby list for flights to Seattle, or get confirmed flight on Thurs., Dec. 26. Umm, no. Cancelled remainder of travel with Frontier, got a flight to Salt Lake City on Southwest. Finally made it out of Denver at 11:45pm.

Trip #3, Part B - Tues, 8AM. The DRIVE from Salt Lake City to Seattle - woke up to new snow falling, multiple accidents on interstate out of town. Rental agency only had front-wheel drive cars. Picked up chains for it, just in case.

2.5 hours later, reach Idaho border, only to discover the interstate was closed. 90 mile detour back into Utah, up to Pocatello, and then west.

Fortune finally smiled on us the rest of the way home - lots of snow around us, but weather and roads were clear. The final pass, Snoqualmie, was just starting to get hit with the next snow storm when we went through at 11PM. (It later dropped another foot of snow that night/morning.)

We had to go to the airport, pick up Mr. DA's car, our luggage (it made the standby flight), and return the rental. Home at 1:45AM Wed. morning.

We were pretty much snowed in for the rest of the week. We probably got close to 14" of snow, which Mr. DA said was the most he'd ever seen since 1990. It started to melt on Saturday, and now, we're mostly back to normal.

I'm really glad to be home, heck, I was even happy to come in to work yesterday.

DA's great adventure. SO glad you are both back home safely!

Where does liverwurst fit in the grand scheme of things?

Haven't had it in decades. Heard it was good with onions.

I'm not even sure what it is...

No discussion of Emminence Front?

It's a put on...

When is Duke playing in the New York area? Because THAT is when I'll pick up your pastrami in my new Coach bag.

(Way to find a clip from the King Dome, lavabe!)

Oops, DA beat me to it. Sorry. That's one of the disadvantages of not reading the DBR for 3-4 days and spending an hour or two reading/posting to catch up.

However, one of the advantages is the amount of PWing one can do in a short period of time while playing catch up ball.

M = mille or one thousand years in Latin. That was my 1,000th post in this thread.

Congrats. Simple, yet classic. Best of luck on the next 1000!

2/19/09 at 7 PM against St. John's at MSG (if I read the MBB schedule correctly), just a few short city blocks from the Carnegie (about 15 to be more precise). What time do you want OZZIE and me to pick up the goods in Greenville the next day? Cash or check?

[devildeac]

Now I understand why team have so much difficulty coming back from big deficits. I've just spent the last 2 hours recovering from a 40 point, err, post deficit, have cut the difference to a 2 possession game and I am out of energy.

[YmoBeThere]

Yep, I know the feeling.

Are you picking up the pastrami, or am I?

FWIW, I don't even like pastrami.

And, if I'm picking up the pastrami, I need tickets to the game.

That must be some good pastrami...

I thought YOU were picking it up in your Coach bag.

I'd bet tix are still available from the ID office.

I got a new blue denim Coach bag today! I'm contemplating the trip to NY.
