President news perhaps?

Don't know if that's what she was talking about, but I understand we've made a selection, to be announced in a couple of weeks.

This person would have been my first phone call, and is one check-mark short of perfect. Not a name often heard, but think everyone should be pleased.

I went to Shipleys last night and all my donuts were stale within an hour. It's like Shipleys has its own atmosphere that all the donuts can sit out and be perfectly fresh and then you take them home and they get hard.

I've never ridden on a jumbo jet. I always get stuck on a 777 or an a330. Where can I go to ensure I ride on a 747?

Never heard of a 24 hour store. I never buy any brand of donuts after 10:00. At least with Shipley's, the glazed donuts have to be fresh and eaten within 30" to an hour or else they are average.

As of 2015 there were something like 150 of them left in passenger service and a good deal were scheduled to be retired. The last one was built in 2005. BA and Korean Air have the largest fleets of them for passengers.

BA claims they have 36 left in service at the moment.

The wife and I were on a road trip through Indiana a few years ago and realized since we were fairly close to French Lick, we'd make a slight detour and check out Larry Bird's hometown. Had to be some kind of big time memorial or something there. At least a sign saying "Hometown of The Greatest Baller of All Time" or some such.

Got there and drove around and not one mention in that entire town of arguably the greatest basketball player to come out of Indiana. Not one mention.

On the way out of town, I told my wife that I needed to know what the deal was. Stopped at a convenience store and was told by a lady that Larry wasn't held in high esteem in his hometown. Seems he came back with some big money Indianapolis developers and tried to sell off the town to these guys. The town folk didn't go for it and it created a wedge between him and his hometown. Interesting story.

But he could fill it up.
