Welcome to America!

Or the Un-tied States as we fondly like to refer to them.

Last night we welcomed a really nice, beautiful woman from Singapore. She's going to be staying about two weeks with us, and we're really excited to have her as our guest!

Jeers to New Jersey's airport in Newark, however, whose idiot workers made her miss her first flight to Cleveland. Not sure what these people were thinking. Our friend was sitting at the terminal awaiting her flight and no one was there to board them. So one of the employees said she could come back in a few minutes. Five minutes later, her flight was pulling away from Newark -- without her on it. Stupid airport. Too bad the terrorists didn't consider staking out there in 2001; they'd have had a regular field day. :-P

But she got here to Cleveland finally, about 90 minutes late. Where we watched a worker with a vacuum-cleaner run back and forth along a 15-foot x 3 foot rectangle of carpet for TWENTY MINUTES! Ah, it must pay to be thorough... Guess this carpet was REALLY important to her or something.
