New card to the game? Definitely not a new model!

Was thinking the same thing. Bike lane could be easily cleared.

Trust me, as a Rockies fan, I've seen LOTS of scores like that

That's a bad football game

It is so refreshing to have thoughtful coverage of my local school board/district again - it's been woefully lacking since the departure of the excellent @liamsadams.bsky.social about 5 years ago. Kept my Blade subscription active hoping to see this day!

Sounds like a high school

I don't mind them for a quick DEN>ORD, LAX, or IAH flight. But the flights between DEN and Hawaii are rough. No IFE and high pax:lav ratios on a 7-hour flight. No thanks.

This is like the LAX-NYC task a few weeks ago when NYC was totally shut down due to snow.

Keep your eyes open for some local merch that promotes riding the...ahem... trolley. πŸ˜‰https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Lake_Union_Streetcar

Pretty sure no more FedEx 3-holers taking off anytime soon (or ever, at this point)

No snow, though

I noticed in the video of the UA 789 deploying slides at LAX today that there were EK and QR pax planes parked on the cargo apron - including an A380.

A one-sheet poster for "The Hunt for Red October." The colors are black and red with white type. At top left is a large three-quarter portrait image of the head of Sean Connery as Captain Marko Ramius, printed in red on a black background. Next to his left cheek, rising out of the red as though rising out of the ocean is a submarine conning tower. The tagline to the right reads, "The hunt is on." The title, top-line stars, and credits are printed in the lower third of the poster against a red background.

Today in 1990, β€œThe Hunt for Red October,” adapted from insurance salesman Tom Clancy’s bestselling 1984 first novel, opened in theaters across the United States.

Another student at my son's high school was hit by a car this week - she suffered a broken hip (and tons of people saw it happen).
