Having had to deal with cellos and the like, I get it.

Having had to deal with cellos and the like, I get it. However, persons with the guitars, buy an extra seat for your instruments. Do Not take up multiple overhead bins for them. Nope. No possible comments, reasons, or excuses. Not on a commercial flight with lots of other people, not these days. You just took overhead bin space away from at least 6 people. Uncool.

    Flight cases are not good enough for a certain level of instrument. The damage being in the underbelly of the plane will ruin a professional level instrument ignoring the possibility of idiotic handling and it getting lost. Guitars won't be as susceptible as a cello would, but man, putting it in the overhead bin is super rude. Buy a seat, asshat.

    yeah i was only talking about guitars, which a good flight case will protect 100%.

    I wouldn't take a $2000+ guitar in a flight case, either.

    Put the instrument in his seat and put him in the underbelly of the plane?

    Stefanie Fiskaa is all over the legit concerns, here, and also the exact thoughts I had re: what to do about it. How much is the ticket? How much is the instrument? Buy the dang ticket.

TIL that some languages apparently have words inherently differentiating one's status as a citizen or resident of the entity versus a member of a particular ethnic or cultural group? I don't quite grasp the whole thing, although I heard the point being made. What's interesting to me is a) that there is such a thing, which seems very revealing of something about a culture that would need such concepts built into the language, and b) that there seem to be people who think it's inaccurate to interpret the word choice as meaningful. Firstly, since languages have all sorts of concepts built into them, many very specific to their primary culture of use, it seems reasonable that such a thing could exist. Not that I would have thought of it before, since I'm not from a culture where that sort of subtlety functions. Secondly, if that is, indeed, the subtlety of the word choices, where one essentially and inherently includes people, and the other excludes, then I'd kind o...

Good News:

Good News: 1. Thruway is open between Buffalo and Rochester. 2. You can get on it going from Buffalo south to Pennsylvania, but you cannot get off of it between Buffalo and Pennsylvania. 3. Almost all the other major highways are open. 4. This is important, because with no highways open, there was no way to truck in food for the grocery stores, or gas for the cars and snow removal equipment and generators, etc. Yes, some places were starting to run low. (Yeah, they removed all the refineries and terminals years ago. Which is why our gas is still well above $3/gal. The closest place we get it from is Akron, OH. Wtf, government. P.S. Good plan! That whole section of I-90 runs along the eastern side of Lake Erie. FYI, that would be the part where they get Lake Effect snow. All winter, every winter. Good strategic planning.) Bad News: 1. Roofs are collapsing all over the place. And we haven't gotten the melt and rain, yet. 2. A lot of communities are days away from being reached by the...
