They don't really account for the crumple zones in the other vehicle (SUV/truck). This really sounds like something to get the American economy going or to protect SUV/truck drivers insurance-wise.

There was only one American car tested - Chevy Aveo. Wouldn't the Ford Focus be in this category? PT Cruiser, Chevy SSR?

And the waiting begins. Who would have figured I'd blow through international checkin at Logan in 15 minutes? Only 2 hours until my flight for Charlotte leaves... And WiFi is for *pay* here? Puh-leaze. Fortunately I've got T-Mobile and can surf with my phone...

The Aveo is actually a Daewoo (korean). But there really was no standard behind that list, there are several more small cars out there. The american cars would probably fare the worst, as they all are missing safety equipment in their base config.

Brian, did you miss all that news about the logan wifi lawsuits? I believe United or one of the other brands offers free wifi, and logan tried to sue them so they could make money off their own service. Free radio is free radio. Walk around and see what you can get.

Josh, I miss *all* the news. I'm in terminal B, so no United. This MacBook/w810i this is working quite well, just not blazing fast. I see no need to get up at this point. Thanks for the info, though. I've got three hours to kill in Charlotte. Hopefully it's free there, at least...

What did Annette's brother get from his boss? An iPod Shuffle. What did Annette get from her boss? A mini wireless mouse whose battery case was broken so I had to tape it shut, and since it was bought with company money it must stay in the office. I hate my brother.

What did Ricardo get from his boss? Nothing, because his company is so hell-bent to make the fourth quarter numbers look good that it has cancelled any and all non-production spending until after January 1, including even holiday luncheons.

Does Annette's brother's company have any vacancies? Either for Annette or her friends..??

Hey Sheena, I found the Big Dig run pictures on my Smugmug site. Did I post that here already..? If not, here's the link

That's because he knows if he ever wants a chance at seeing any kind of baked good from me again he'd better hush up. Look at what happened to Gavin.

Wait, are you going to Italy or Germany? There's nothing I want from those Germans.

Ruthie just survived her first trip to the vet. No problems to speak of, cried the whole car ride, but was good for her shot and nail clipping. Go back in two weeks for the next round of shots, and then again two weeks after that. Spaying in a few months and after that she should calm down. Of course none of you told me that calicos are the most fiesty breed of cat! Thanks for nothing!
