That's the first time I've heard that and I love it! lol

[Niels @Niels0908]

@MikeInTheFront looks like so much fun!

[Niels @Niels0908]

@MikeInTheFront True except in my case it occasionally generates new ones, or so my knees will tell you.

[Niels @Niels0908]

@Saskajanet We have them in our yard every year, I really need to look harder to find the nest.

@CraigKoban Given how well the dragon was animated I was disappointed at some of the other CG elements but enjoyed the movie and Millie really carried with a strong performance.

@MikeInTheFront So annoying. Can there be a better way to screen carry-on sizes at check-in, based on aircraft type? I dunno if that's feasible. Just because the luggage company calls it a carry-on doesn't mean it fits in all overhead bins.

[Niels @Niels0908]

@Angela_Lieverse Tier 1! Good luck!

[Niels @Niels0908]

@Rainmaker1973 Steering wheel 😁 ;) 👍

[Niels @Niels0908]

@MikeInTheFront Great idea. Here's another - providing emergency cabin sim training / experience for willing frequent fliers e.g. fire, egress, etc. So few people pay attention to the briefing, know where their doors are, etc...experiencing a sim could go a long way to keep nerves calmer.

@Saskajanet Pretty sure the reason is that the woodpecker created the file name 😅

[Niels @Niels0908]

@Saskajanet All but 2 seem to agree on a direction 😅

[Niels @Niels0908]

@MikeInTheFront Ugh. Weather?

The town of Whittier, Alaska, is known for having nearly the entire population living in a single apartment building.

The building is called Begich Towers, a 14-story apartment complex that houses about 90% of the town's residents (total: 272). This has earned Whittier the nickname of a "town under one roof".

The building, originally constructed as an army barracks, now serves as a cozy condominium featuring a post office, general store, police station, laundromat, health clinic, mayor's office, and a heated indoor pool.

Whittier, Alaska is accessible only by air or through a single-lane tunnel that stretches over two miles through neighboring Maynard Mountain. The town's weather conditions can be harsh during winter, making the Begich Towers a convenient and practical living solution for the residents.

In addition to the Begich Towers, there is a second condo building in the town where the remaining residents live. The town's school and gym are located in a separate structure but are connected to the Begich Towers by a tunnel, allowing for easy access during the winter months.

@jrpka I'll see your jar and raise you a 4 litre plastic milk jug. Didn't sleep well that night.

@Lerg Looks like a framed painting 👍

@Cenalian @Peacewind152 You can see all the tents and set up, it was a 5 day event.

[Niels @Niels0908]

@Cenalian @Peacewind152 Was lucky enough to make it there in 2003 for the centennial. They recreated the first flight with a re-built flyer and everything. John Travolta was there with his 707. The weather was horrendous on the day however, rain and no wind (20kt headwind or so in 1903 and needed it)

@Peacewind152 @MikeInTheFront @jasonrosewell lol!
