Ärende: FLYING 763
==================
-=> Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

 ML> How long a flight?

 JW> 45 minutes.

 ML> @150 mph or so, I take it. How long would it take to drive
 ML> halfway around the lake?

It's 120 miles across the lake but 300 miles around it. It takes
five hours to drive, six if I stop to eat in Fort Providence
enroute. It's a boring drive after the first trip. Even seeing herds
of wild bison grazing on the right of way gets old after a while. I
prefer to fly and keep a spare car in Hay River, so I don't need a
rental when I get there.

 ML> That's a bunch of coffee.
 JW> 32 passengers. 32 cups.

 ML> Actually, 48 cups, as a coffee cup is 6 oz.

OK. 32 mugs.

 ML> I take it it's a morning flight.

I generally fly down Wed. evenings (and skip the complimentary
coffee) and return early Sat morning (when that coffee is much
appreciated).

 JW> For the first of my two meals at the five menu place in Hay River, I
 JW> asked for hot sauce for my fijitas (I got Rooster sauce) and Chinese
 JW> chile paste for my Kung Po. Thereafter the waitress brought a small
 JW> container of each automatically with everything I ordered
 JW> thereafter, even a ribeye steak and baked potato dinner. Since she
 JW> was trying hard to please me, I didn't want to disappoint her so I
 JW> dumped all of both bowls onto the baked potato along with the
 JW> standard sour cream, scallion greens and bacon bits.

 ML> NTF and rather sweet. Now that you mention it, hot sauce would
 ML> probably do a baked potato some good.

I like it and often do it at home.
