Is it just me...

or does overshooting the airport by 150 miles seem a bit excessive? I mean, you've already flown 1,500 miles...might as well go another 10 percent.

I don't know what I would have been thinking if I'd been on the plane. You're watching Minneapolis go under you and you ring the little flight attendant thingy and the only thing they say is that they can offer you more peanuts. Which is a grand gesture, because we had to suffer through so many years where we got friggin' pretzels instead of peanuts.

Alas, I'd probably rather land on time than fly an extra 150 miles and get some free extra peanuts. But that might just be me...
