One never does, does one.

I downed my share in one bolt. Say no more.

Speaking of awful, I put in a request for Channel 9,
as I was on one of the diminishing number of planes
that are equipped with such, and within the first two
hours of listening, there was one ramper reported hit
by a piece of equipment (probably a baggage truck,
but it was unspecified) and requiring medical attention
and as we were approaching Japan, a flight requesting
diversion - "[Sounded like Sumo] 73 is having issues 
with one of our personnel and will have to return to 
[unintelligible] for a crew swap." Usually they turn
off the radio when weird stuff happens, but this time
they didn't bother.

I used to do that when hiking. I'll make it up to the
next hill. And then later on on the trip, I'll make it
to that tree over there. It always worked, but sometimes
not very quickly.

Anything with the word Milwaukee or the phrase
Miller High Life is suspect.
