Thank you midwesterners . . .

I had thught I had heard about Delta airlines doing bad things in the past, but when I went to buy tickets for us earlier in the year (and I had to buy three sets of intercontinental flights: 2 roundtrips SF-Prague, 1 roundtrip Prague-Accra, and 1 roundtrip Prague-SF -- this may not seem like a lot to some people, which amounts to about a third of my income for 2011, not counting mysterious legacies that keep popping up suspiciously) I could not find anything when I googled, so I had decided I must have remembered wrongly. It turns out I googled wrongly, not knowingf exactly what to ask for, and completely failed to find the records of Delta's swalling of Northwestern and their bad labor policy.

This is where you kind of have to know what you're looking for to find thngs. Googling "delta labor policy" reveals on the first page a slew of articles about flying pregnant, an attack on Harry Reid by the US Chamber of Commerce, and three hits for Delta's PR machine including their "applauding" a decision by a House committee to investigate the Labor Board. But this time, knowing for sure that there was something to look for, I changed up the words, and "Delta labor violations" turns out to be an overwhelmingly productive search.

Thanks, Pamela and Mike!

Since I'm likely never going to buy another computer as long as I live, probably not.

That isn't as dire as it sounds. I intend to be mooching off Frank's castoffs as he upgrades. I suppose I could do the same with Emma's, but she's a Mac girl and, well . . .
