I need to keep more current on Wordpress. I upgrade about once every 8 months. I should make it more like once every two months. While it isn’t hard, I need a way to make it a one line command from the web server.

USAirways finds new ways to nickle and dime you. Extra charges for baggage. Extra for food is something we have all gotten used to. Paying for drinks is a stretch for me, and I have to say that not even being able to get a cup of tap water for free is pathetic.
United has charged extra for Economy plus for quite a while, but you supposedly get more legroom. Today when I went online to check into my flight home from Orlando I went to select my seats. No seats were available when I bought my tickets (except Premium seats which I didn’t qualify for) so I looked at what was available. Two choices… A single available middle seat, or pay $10 for a “choice seat” of which there were 12… Two full rows in the middle of the plane. Not exit row or anything special. So if I wanted a aisle or a window, I needed to pay $10.
I didn’t check in. I’ll wait and see what I can get at the airport in the morning… Can’t be any worse than a middle seat.
UPDATE: checked in at 6am and I had a middle exit row (better than a regular middle) but was able to select an aisle (albeit in the back of the bus)
Finally, as if I don’t throw away enough credit card offers that come in the mail, now USAirways has their flight attendants pitching CC offers on the intercom and hawking brouchures up and down the aisle…I hope they at least get an individual bonus if they hook one of us sardines.
