We're only supposed to get up to 48 on Sunday.

I've had enough of this. Someone can turn on the warm now.

Sending warm {{HUGS}} wine and ammo. BTW is your ST viewing all caught up?

I've been flying in airliners since 1967. I have flown all over the country and around different places in Europe and Asia. 40 would be a starter kit for me and obviously nothing has happened, but always remember and don't ever forget it only has to happen once.

I've done over 40 flights in a year several times edit all after 1967

I haven't watched Discovery at all, but Picard and SNW are caught up.

Same here behind on Discovery. James is caught up with Discovery and Picard but hasn't seen SNW yet. He also told me to tell you "Resistance is optional"

Why would you want to go to the arctic anyway?

That's where the cold is.

You just answered your question

To see new things obviously.

To see new things obviously.

But I can see pictures of it and be perfectly warm. And see new things in warm places. Where the warm is.

Pictures never do full justice.

After seeing Victoria, BC, Alaska..etc.. yeah.

I can see pictures of WDW . No need to deal with the crowds.

I got used to the cigarette smoke back in the day smelling it and my clothes smelled like it too when passengers could smoke while in flight and many were well dressed also.

I was an adult by the time I first flew on a plane. I recall "smoking sections" of planes (in the rear of the plane). I must have sat further forward in the plane, as I don't remember the smoke affecting me.

Trying to recall -- prior to the smoking sections, was it just an open policy for people to smoke anywhere on a plane?

Airplanes completely exchange the air in the cabins constantly so unlike a room full of smoke, it was far less offensive. That is without mentioning that back then almost everyone smoked. It was not at all unusual to be exposed to it no matter where you went. Smoking was allowed in stores, restaurants, some theaters, offices and I remember smoking while a patient in a hospital. When I started flying you could smoke anywhere you were sitting. It wasn't until later that you had to go to the "smoking section" of a plane, Most of the reason for the no smoking rule at the time they did it was the fear of fire. It's hard to pull one of those thing over to the side of the road to quickly let the passengers out.

What could be better a cup of coffee and on her way to WDW

I remember those days when we first moved to Huntsville, AL in ‘66, and then to No Cal back in ‘68. We flew back to Texas for at least two Christmases and several summers before Mom and Pop bought the truck and camper. For those flights I (and when my two younger bros were old enough) had on a blue blazer, clip-on tie, light blue button-down long sleeve shirt, khaki slacks, and dress shoes…and we all got off the plane smelling like smoke, too…!!!!!
Mom and Pop didn’t smoke at the time, but, it seemed like everyone else did…!!!!!
For reference…Pop smoked for 12 years, but, quit 3 months before I was born, and never smoked again. Mom has never smoked.
Also, I remember flying on a DC-3, a Lockheed Constellation, and then 707’s after that. All smoke-filled tubes…!!!!!
