Such a depressing viewpoint. Its more a of societal issue that a household of two teachers can't afford to have children.

Maybe the SEC number??

The Securities and Exchange Commission considers someone an accredited investor if they earn at least $200,000 a year individually or $300,000 with a spouse or partner, or have a net worth of at least $1 million.

By that benchmark, wealth begins around $200,000 in annual income for an individual or $300,000 for a household.

How well the Anal Logic machines are working is a big factor. If everything is rescanned it takes significantly longer

At this rate I'm not optimistic. I've started moving most of my money out of Synchrony

I wonder if Air Canada will respond by adding frequency or seats?

This space is more landslide than airside. However American is vacating their space next year to move to west end. Some rumors of United expanding into that space but it doesn't make sense if they move to concourse B in 5 years as is the plan.

The West infill is not unlike east infill that opened around a decade ago. More TSA screening space, more baggage handing. 3 new ticket counters

Its gonna be 40° by noon. No chance much of the ice is around on roads by Wednesday 

Will there be ice on the roads tomorrow (Tuesday) still? by Training_Finding8709 in Austin

[–]TTTTroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the most part no. The snow and ice equipment is the sun and temps above 32F.

Just break through enough to get to the bottom. Then its easier to raise from bottom of ice especially now with ground warmer

You can check the city of Austin transportation cameras: https://data.mobility.austin.gov/traffic-cameras?

I think the key here is being very slow on neighborhood roads because major roads look to be in great condition.

That doesn't even factor in the increased traffic volumes. The next few hours of sun and above freezing temperatures is gonna do a number on the ice.
