I'll keep applying for it, puts a pretty good dent in airline tickets/rooms/car
rentals for my yearly trek.  I haven't looked but I don't think the PFD is tied
that closely to oil anymore, they diversified the portfolio so to speak.  It
doesn't look like the pump price is going up because of Alaska oil.  I did see,
didn't bother to read, that they're starting to ship crude from America to
Asia.  That couldimpaact things.

Done, just not bought yet.  Probably aren't on sale yet, I didn't look and my
VISA bill is already stressed enough.  Tough way to earn miles, bought all
these tickets on Hawaiian Air and then found out they weren't a mileage
partner, like I thought.  Oh well...I did discover that I'm a "Starwood
Preferred Guest", I suspect with that and another couple of bucks I can buy a
cup of coffee at a Waffle House.  Best guess is that it's something that Connie
signed us up for and never bothered to tell me about, didn't have my mileage
number assigned to it.  Yet I'm a Gold Member.

Bummer, relay my best again.

Not the way I've got it marked up.

Your call.  But it DOES mean I'll have an unused location programmed into the
GPS, I think Ian's is still there too.  But then again it also means you won't
get to hear your favorite phrase, "Recalculating", every few seconds as we
wobble along the highways and byways in the general direction of their house.
