I don't think Kevin thought a power cut at an airport made it into this league and may have opined such. I further suspect Mrs. Musgrove's offspring nearly ended up with an orange jumpsuit in in Guantanamo. I picked him up at the Joni Mitchell Regional Airport (near Fort Baxter) the following morning after he'd spent the night on a luggage scale in his linen suit and flown down in a 19-seater puddle jumper. <BR/><BR/>PS If you find you're scheduled on on a flight with him - rebook. he was 5 hours late into Sheboygan International this last time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14551345.post-21481657823487450122008-09-25T10:21:00.000-07:002008-09-25T10:21:00.000-07:00a mere bagatelle.
