An ominous portent plus a happy ending

Now's probably not a good time to mention this news article to Nicole: IAA forced to restrict flights in Irish Airports

On another note, they said that our new carpet that was supposed to be installed this Thursday couldn't come till next Monday. We were very sad. We called the nice people at Home Depot. They said, "Don't cry, but that cheap carpet you wanted takes longer to order." But we were really sad, so they said, "Ok, ok, we hate to see a pretty lady cry [they were talking to Nicole (on the phone)]. So here's the deal: we can get your carpets installed this week IF we order the more expensive carpet to replace it for the same price as the cheap ones." We said, OK. Nicole wasn't sad anymore :)
