What happens when a newspaper columnist goes to pick up a passenger at the airport? Big changes happen in the way we get to pick people up at the airport if she has a hard time. That's what! 
Mandy Miles wrote in her Sunday column Tan Lines that she had the greatest difficulty picking up a friend at the airport. Sheriff's deputies were rude and there was nowhere sensible to stop to make the pick up. There was a flood of comments in agreement and suddenly we learned that things were going to change. New quick pick up spaces were painted green and reserved for private vehicles in front of the arrivals area:
Cabs get their line in the area between the garage and the terminal building.
No deputies were in evidence when I arrived to pick up my wife from her successful trip to California to see Pete and Amanda get married.
I used the parking lot that used to be reserved solely for employees and everything went as smoothly as can be. The squeaky wheel gets well and truly greased. To the benefit of all in this case. I hope the customer service training went as well for the deputies as it does, periodically, for us at the police department.

Hey, have a safe trip. Theres a Frost /freeze warning for NE pa tonight, but it will be in the 70s during the day.
Dear Conch:
I think you are getting the weather forecast from Cuba. It was 39ยบ here in West Chester, yesterday morning... But it was 77 at 2:30pm in Gettysburg.
Call me on my cell phone before you mount up. I sent you my cell number.
Enter my cell number in your cell phone.
By coincidence, I am in Hagerstown, Maryland at the moment, and will be until tomorrow morning. This is right off I-81. Call me if you are having problems. I will be returning to West Chester, Pa at noon or 1pm tomorrow (Sunday, October 10.)
Call me on Sunday when you halt for a break.
I am repeating this comment on your most recent blog post as well.
Fondest regards,

I hope the conchscooter survives all this quasi parental doting. Who knew Riepe was such a worry wart?
bit weird isn't it? we have had to exchange cell phone numbers! Is that significant? Like this is a real date?
Dear Conchscooter Et Al:
I don't really give a shit... But I have made arrangements to part out that Triumph in three states.
Fondest regards,
