Flew in from Denver to KC for the draft. Must say the new airport is very nice. Easy in and out with quite a lot of cool bars/restaurants. Trent McDuffie was on my United flight headed back to Denver yesterday as well. Was cool to chat/meet him for a moment.

Surgery on a rocket does seem like it would be particularly complex.

Getting an overpriced bloody mary when leaving for vacation is a tradition I strangely enjoy.

Getting a lounge membership solidified that one for me. Now the bloody marys are free!

(But let's not talk about the annual fees on the credit card that I use to gain that freedom.)

That overpriced Bloody Mary doubled in price.

Yeah, that became a thing after I moved from KC.... flying out of KC, it never felt like vacation started until you got to your destination.

Flying out of other airports though, you spend that 30+ minutes relaxing with a drink and/or snack, as opposed to standing at the gate staring at the stranger across from you.

I always look forward to the layover after departing KC and getting a meal at that airport as that feels like the vacation has officially started. I suspect the information is out there but I hypothesize that a large portion of flights leaving KC depart early when compared to other airports. Seems logical given so many destinations from KC require a stop and layover somewhere. The effect to me seems that you have less people arriving around lunch time than other airports so not as many locals have the opportunity to arrive early and eat.

For example, people going to Florida or California from KC are probably departing before 10 at a large rate, (maybe 80%?) just based on what I see when looking at flight times available. But a huge hub like Charlotte seems they would have tons of flights for those leaving to California/west coast all morning with tons heading to Florida/east coast all afternoon.

For this I can see how restaurants wouldn’t get as many locals eating there prior to departing like some other places.

Did you get a picture with him?

Relevant article came across my NYT feed this morning. It's always hilarious to see all the crazy theories.

A choker at golf? Forgot I even had an avatar. Dude’s a 3 time major winner. But again, intelligence was never your strong suit.

That low self esteem from Mom and Dad just causes all that repressed homosexuality to come out for you, eh Scurv?

I'm glad to hear they had the traffic jam issue solved for at least the Draft week/weekend. Let's hope they keep doing whatever they did and don't just drop it because we're not on the national stage after the Draft.

The gender neutral bathrooms are the best - the stalls are plentiful and go all the way to the ground. And they have a video board that indicates the number of stalls that are currently open!
