The Yakima of Louisinna. (this post is a draft from December 12, 2008)

So here is what happened to me the other day.  I think this is a good use of twitter, you can see the microblogs in one shot.  A mega-post of micro-blogging.  So two nice but big guys ended up being in the seats next to me.  And I was stuck on the aisle for a flight that was supposed to take off at 11:55pm from Seattle going to Dallas.

Totally awesome. Dudes next to me on flight are bigger than me. 11:55 PM

Remembering the horrible experience from Saturday, you can understand why I was hesitant.

Let’s see if I end up in yakima on this flight. Baton Rouge here I come. 12:02 AM

Didn’t end up in yakima!!! 3:27 AM

Small plane to baton rouge. What is there to do in baton rouge. I have hours until the others show up 5:17 AM

Hey guess where I am. The yakima of louisianna. My flight was diverted from Baton Rouge to Monroe. Who knows when I will get to Baton Ro …… 7:24 AM

That’s right. Second flight in a week that is diverted to smallest airport in the area. My day is screwed!!! 7:26 AM

They couldn’t see the runway when the were almost landed, so diverted. Why not to new orleans. That is an hour drive.Monroe is like 3 hours 7:29 AM

@kerbfam seriously. And I have 12 more flights this month. I should see all kinds of great stuff. Going to start hoarding food and drink 7:33 AM in reply to kerbfam

@frankichan that’s what you think. Who knows where they will decide to land. 7:39 AM  in reply to frankichan

@frankichan glad to hear you got some extras. Take some snacks. 7:56 AM  in reply to frankichan

Seriously everyone on the plane just said in their phone calls “put some fuel in this bird”. It spread like wildfire. 7:57 AM

Still sitting in the plane, stuck in Monroe, LA. Anyone have any Monroe, LA funfacts? 8:15 AM

Well Monroe is actually Monroe and West Monroe. It is known as the twin city. Not twin cities. The motto is one city, one future. 8:20 AM

Well they are saying we are going to try this again. 8:26 AM

Oh never mind. We aren’t going anywhere. 8:26 AM

Wait. Parker Posies home town?!? Someone give her a call. Get her on the tarmac 9:01 AM

They are now kicking us off the plane. We have to take all our stuff, this is not a good sign. 9:51 AM
