You should throw in some kale and cabbage for some real variety with that broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts. Maybe some kohlrabi if you're feeling adventurous.

Cabbage is a great idea I've never considered. Kale I just don't like the taste even with salad dressing.

im supposed to be en route to puerto rico right now but my flight was canceled 30 minutes before boarding because there werent any flight attendants.

there were 2 poor staffers having to handle hundreds of angry customers, some of whom had dead connecting flights or needed hotels and what not since this was the last flight out of the night. managed to get re-booked on a different flight tomorrow night, so basically burned a day of my trip.

some serious first world problems going on here and i demand sympathy

Spirit or Frontier?

[MDS]

spirit...im taking frontier back which should be fun. the flights were insanely cheap...like less than 3 bills total for a pretty busy time of year and not a super cheap flight. i knew thered be issues but couldnt pass up the deal. ah well.

i felt terrible for these gate agents who had to be there and run through hours of bullshtein with each person. and they couldnt even sit down. they had to stand all damn day, for what, $15 an hour? less? its inhumane.

my flight tomorrow is now american so i have moderate confidence thatll happen

I got to have an unexpected visit to B'more a few days ago. I was expecting DC. But the pilot came on and said something along the lines of "we have a hydrolics problem. Out of an abundance of caution we are being diverted to Baltimore because we need a longer runway. Also, if you see firemen when we land don't worry, they're just there for a routine inspection." And then they seemed to really gun the engines on our approach instead of decelerating, which was weird. Maybe it was just the for wicked turbulence we were about to go through.

I was sitting even with the wing so I looked out to see if we were going to start dumping fuel. I'd been through that drill before on a trip back from the Middle East a couple years after 9/11. They pulled a suspected terrorist off board before takeoff. Unfortunately they didn't think to take his luggage out as well. FAA refused us entry into United States air space so we had to find an airport that would accept us and could also land a jumbo jet. Fortunately the Brits are always up for lending a helping hand, so Manchester it was. Dumping the fuel to get rid of excess weight looked like something a lot more than a garden hose and a bit less than a fire hose, shooting out of the end of the wing. I felt more relaxed when I didn't see that, and later realize, when we were only a couple thousand feet above the ground, and they still hadn't given us the command to assume the crash position and kiss our ass goodbye. But it still gave me pause while landing to see a fleet of fire trucks with lights ablazing, pulling out after us as we came to a stop on the runway.

They took us to the gate right next-door after we came in, and put us on a nice 737 800 series. I wasn't sure if it was the 737 MAX version or not, the one that got grounded a while back after two planes crashed within a few months with 400+ deaths. But the crew was very nice about it all, and it had that nice new plane smell. A few passengers ditched it in Baltimore causing a lengthy delay but no prob, in a jiff we were back up and into the same severe turbulence we landed through, and then on to DC with an otherwise unremarkable trip.

If you get stranded here in the future, let me know.  I'll buy you drinks.
