@kpottermn Flying Delta from MSP to SFO round trip in July. Four tickets purchased in December: $1,600, today same flights: $2,355. Baggage fees appear to be the same.

With jet fuel prices up 120%, it was only a matter of time before an airline raised bag fees. All the major US carriers will follow suit. No doubt. My question on our podcast last week was: What awful new fee will airlines invent now? thriftytraveler.com/podcasts/ep-55…

@ChrisMWilliams There is a thud and the floor seems to cause more echos in the broadcast.

Is it me or is the glass floor a smidge squeakier with sneakers than the traditional wood?

If I say Cingular What comes to mind?

Every year around Veterans Day, I try to get people to post photos of themselves in uniform that they are proud of. Inevitably, there’s always a slew of comments with people saying they really didn’t do much in the service. I don’t think that’s true. Hollywood likes to show acts of unparalleled valor, which leads people to think that that is the norm. It’s not. The military runs off of teamwork. Everyone has a specific job to do to make the machine run. If you’ve ever eaten MREs for weeks straight, you know how important cooks are. If you’ve ever watched someone suffer, you know how important doc is. If you’ve ever needed 123 batteries, which always seemed impossible to find, you know how important a good supply Sergeant is. If you’ve ever needed comms or had computer issues, you know how important IT is. The list goes on and on. Be proud of your service. Less than 1% of the population serves, and less than 7% of the American population are veterans. I’m proud of you.

@tjmaak @westobeer @DerekDuke25 @WeWillCllective The storm is brewing

Getting ready for tomorrow! What do we call this? @westobeer @DerekDuke25 @WeWillCllective

@EODHappyCaptain I have been out for 18 years and my BDUs still smell like that. Working in Supply, that smell lives in my head rent free.

There is a 100% chance that all your clothes will smell like this bag…but at least they would be dry

You can’t smell a picture The Picture:

Thanks for the tour Bummed Kevin Costner couldn’t be here! Big shout out to the coasties of Emerald Isle, NC and Hit them up with any questions about joining the Coast Guard!

@NovakWeather @VikesRock23 @KTTCTV @ABC6NEWS Wind also shifted directions quickly. Was out of the south then suddenly swapped to the north. My deck furniture was playing pinball.

@KSTP can we at least not block the score? you got this right last game

🧵1/ Donald Trump is sending National Guard troops into California—over the objection of the governor—to crack down on immigration protests. It’s a deliberate misuse of military power. And it demands public scrutiny. 👇

WEEKEND SAFETY BRIEF: Don't add to the population. Don't subtract from the population. Stay out of the hospital, newspaper, and jail. If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.

Seems like a good headline for @RAYGUNshirts

@CarlaNelsonMN How many instances of Transgender athletes have there been in Minnesota? Is it more than the amount of kids who go hungry or schools that have budget issues? Let's tackle the big things and stop pandering.

This is a really important article and conversation. Gina Rickert, a former elite athlete, shares her concerns about fairness in girls' sports. Please take a moment to read her story.

@votevets I would love for my representative @RepFinstad to have a town hall with the veterans in his own district explaining the rationale behind cutting VA funding. How about it @Tim_Walz

216 House Republicans just voted to gut Veterans’ healthcare and benefits—then ran. ✔️$23B slashed from the PACT Act ✔️VA mental health, cancer care, & homelessness aid cut ✔️Social Security & housing assistance gutted This is a direct attack on Veterans. The Senate must reject it.

I guess @RepFinstad really does not support veterans. Voting to cut funds for the PACT act and staying silent as more cuts and firings happen to the VA, putting those who have sacrificed in danger again. #RepublicanCutsHurtVeterans
