Today's Question(s):

Bonus Question:
Yesterday was "lost penny day" so today we need to know

If you see a penny on the street do you pick it up ? When I was a child I would. However, I wouldn't pick up a penny now. Let's face it, it's not worth anything. Plus, it has so many germs on it

Do you do anything special with said pennies ?

Just for Fun:

Will any of our QOTD family be watching the Daytona 500 race ? Nope

How many of our QOTD family have a 3 day weekend ? I don't

In honor of "Get a Different Name Day"
What name would you pick ? I like my current name.

Today's Question(s):

Well I have to admit, that was the best 15,000 airline miles I ever spent ?

Details here
I was flying from Seattle to Anchorage. Normally it is a little over 3 hours non-stop. My company booked me on a milk run flight with 3 stops along the way. That flight is about 6 hours long. The weather was bad and coach was completely packed. At the last minute I was able to upgrade to first class. Was a good thing. Due to the bad weather we were not allowed off at the stops along the way. We were also on the ground longer at each of the stops. From the time I boarded the flight until I got off was almost 9 hours.

Bonus Question:
Yesterday was "lost penny day" so today we need to know

If you see a penny on the street do you pick it up ?
Only if it is a wheat penny

Do you do anything special with said pennies ?
I save them. Maybe someday they will be worth something.

Extra Credit Question:

When it comes to the airline business I feel I am pretty "smart", but when it comes to computers I can feel pretty "dumb" ?
I openly admit I am computer stupid and proud of it.

Just for Fun:

Will any of our QOTD family be watching the Daytona 500 race ?

How many of our QOTD family have a 3 day weekend ?
I have a no day weekend.

In honor of "Get a Different Name Day"
