Why can I not be on flights that are on time?

So, I’m just hanging out at Palm Beach airport. I came right from work, so I’ve been here since 6:30pm. The free WiFi here isn’t working for some reason, so I’m using PDANet to use my Verizon Wireless broadband access without having to pay their ripoff tethering fee.

Took this picture in the parking lot. I thought it was a funny shot – it looks like the sign is in the middle of no where.

Did anyone else have problems with their electric power last night around 10pm? Our electric power went off around 10pm for a few seconds and then back on for a few more seconds then off for a few minutes. Then, it went back on for a minute, then off for like 5 minutes then it came back on again.

I live south of PSL Boulevard, but I confirmed that people who live north of PSL Boulevard and in PGA Village experienced the same thing. This was all west of the turnpike.

There’s nothing about it in the papers this morning. Some problem at the power plant?

Ford is a funny car company. A few years back, they decided to abandon the Taurus in favor of the Five Hundred. So, for a couple of years, they manufactured both the Taurus and the Five Hundred. Then, they discontinued the Taurus. A year later, they decided retiring the Taurus was stupid so brought it back by changing the name of the Five Hundred back to Taurus. So, even though T4 is actually a Five Hundred, deep down underneath it really is a Taurus.

So, I’ve owned a second, third, forth and now the car that eventually became the fifth generation Ford Taurus.

Here are some more pictures.

5/13 @ 11am : Just heard from the claims adjuster from my insurance company. Repairs would cost about 225% of the estimated value of the car.  T3 is offically totalled.

The adjuster did say the car was in excellent shape for the number of miles it had on it. He even rated the seats, carpet and interior as good instead of minor wear which he said was pretty amazing considering the car had over 140,000 miles on it. And, he did take my new tires into consideration as well as the upgraded features of the car such as the Mach audio system, leather seats, CD changer, etc. Damn, I’m going to miss this car!

Updated with new pictures (5/13) … ’01 Taurus Accident

T3, a 2001 Ford Taurus, 8 years old with 142,000 miles under her belt, passed May 10, 2008 shortly after 6pm after having just recently been paid off. She was born in Atlanta and after a couple of years was put up for adoption at Holman Ford in Mt. Laurel, NJ. She lived in Pine Hill, NJ from 2004 until 2006 when she was moved to Port St. Lucie, FL. She was a frequent guest on both the New Jersey and Florida Turnpikes as well as Interstate 95. Her greatest accomplishment was a three day 1,000 mile drive from New Jersey to Florida. Her companionship on weekend trips to Kohl’s and Target will be greatly missed. T3 was an organ donor and her parts will be used to help others. A short service was held at the tow yard on Mon., May 12 at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, please send money towards my new car payment. Thank you.
