Error 404: Blog Post Not Found??

Yes, you read that right, Blog Post not found. Rather posts, more specifically, NONE of them. I guess I finally fell into the category of people that should not be allowed to blog, or at least not use an app that is supposed to make all of this easier from my iPad.  Most of my posts are typed late at night, and no one wants to get an alert in the middle of the night that I made another post, so I would always schedule the post to be posted later the following morning at a decent time.  The only catch is that for some reason the year in the scheduler was set to 2020. *Insert Face Palm* That's right, all of my blog posts were typed and scheduled, but not for about another 2 years.

Either the clerk had forgotten to give me my card back, or I had somehow not put it back in my wallet properly and shortly after someone attempted to use it a few times.

While the new card doesn’t have my name or the card number in raised lettering and everything is just printed directly on top of the card (who needs that anyways?), this saved me an immense amount of time and headache. Sure I’ve got to log into all of my online accounts and change the billing, but I am not in as much hardship as I would be with possible late payments, etc. as

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. You’re about to embark on a journey of a lifetime.  So please put any wireless devices on Airplane mode and make sure your seat backs are in their upright position and your tray tables are up as we depart for this journey. And we’re off!  The day has finally come to head down to Fort Lauderdale for training.  After a slight delay in Milwaukee with my departing flight coming in from Minneapolis we are finally wheels up.  The flight seemed quite short to LaGuardia, not even enough time to watch a whole movie in flight. LaGuardia was decent. Each spot to sit and eat had their own iPad to place your food order and there were plenty of apps to keep you occupied until your food arrives.  As expected, the airport food was mediocre and over priced, but none the less the service was good and nice to kill time before boarding the next flight. The flight to Fort Lauderdale was only about half full so almost all of us (the ones sitting cl
