Last flight of the year ... from a tiny 5 gate airport with one bar. I ask if they have any scotch. Bartender: I don’t know .. haven’t had anyone ask for scotch in months. I admit defeat. Just water.

Scotch or bust? Bold move. Guess I’m still at the age where compared to the 95% abv [riot] punch we made in college, anything will suffice

True. At my age, you try to go for the small, sippy drinks. Besides, this is the last flight of the year and I wanted to sit with a scotch, and reflect on the year.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
