delta
When I was 8 I came up with a jingle for Delta:
"Delta...Delta Airlines, We wanna take you there, anytime, most anywhere."
Wait? Did I make that up or was that the real slogan?
I also tried to make a cheer:
Give me a "D" for dependability,
Give me a "E" for elegance,
Give me a "L" for loyalty...
Ah, loyalty. I am loyal to Delta because my parents both worked there, Mom for 15 years and Dad for 30. Many of my parent's friends draw their pensions from the company. I still have the Delta American Express card, so I earn miles.
But my flight yesterday inspired no loyalty. Do you want to know why? Well because my direct flight from Salt Lake City to Washington National made a PLANNED stop in DETROIT.
In Detroit, I called Brent and he looked up the flight. At first glance it looked like a direct flight, but then you had to click the link to go to Northwest. At the Northwest site it said the flight stopped.
I am pretty sure Delta has not fixed this because it slips by the flight aggregators like kayak.com. I asked the gate agent if it was actually a Southwest flight. He did not respond.
Ugh. So annoyed.
But what was really weird was that my same boarding ticket worked for both flights even though we changed planes. I was in the same spot on the plane. Weird.
And the gate agent in Detroit had a few trivia questions because we were running late: "If you use a lead pencil to draw a line, how far could one normal pencil draw?"
"What does everyone have, but you never use, and is only used by others?"
"Delta...Delta Airlines, We wanna take you there, anytime, most anywhere."

We spent the weekend at "our," read ersatz, cabin in West Virginia. It was recently featured in Dwell Magazine. That is right. Had a wonderful time. Went for a canoe ride.
The owners decided they wanted a prefab house, similar to a weeHouse, and went for it. Theirs is a Res4. (Go to http://re4a.com/ for more information.)
Good times. Click anywhere to see more. (Photo from www.jetsongreen.com)
