221903 - Found seat 8D.
221905 - ..
221906 - Met Kelly, stewardess.
221908 - ..
221909 - Kelly verified and demonstrated that seat 8D on exit row reclines.
221910 - So, that solves the problem on the flight out on 110823 1545.
221911 - ref SDS 18 9D6N
221913 - ..
221914 - Big benefit, nobody in seats 8E and 8F, so not crowded using the
221915 - computer, and can use adjacent seat for storage, and adjacent tray
221916 - for work table.
221918 - ..
221919 - Could not figure out how to use onboard food ordering system. Kelly
221920 - said they have cookies, so ordered cookies and milk. Also, ate
221921 - peanuts left over from the flight out on 110823 1545. ref SDS 18 FE62
221923 - ..
221924 - Onboard television and communication system remains a mystery.
221925 - Design calls for touching the screen to control content. This does
221926 - not work well for the screen on this seat, nor for the flight out on
221927 - 110823.
221929 - ..
221930 - Onboard electrical power for notebook is not working again.
221932 - ..
221933 - Tried the other plug between the next 2 seats, which corrected the
221934 - problem on the flight out, reported, 110823 1545, ref SDS 18 4Q9H
221936 - ..
221937 - Reported problem to Kelly.
221939 - ..
221940 - She said that sometimes the power roams throughout the cabin from
221941 - area to area. Another steward, checked the plugs, and reported his
221942 - electrical register shows power is now working on both outlets.
221944 - ..
221945 - Returned to seat, and checked computer again. Seems to be working
221946 - now. Very strange.
221948 - ..
221949 - In-flight Internet access costs additional $13, so did not use it.
221951 - ..
221952 - Change time zone on c16.

222303 - Walking through the airport, again surprised how empty it seems.
222304 - Remember the airport as always bustling and full of people.
222306 - ..
222307 - Walked to baggage claim area and through an exit gate. An evident
222308 - airport manager in a business suit, said I could not "Enter" through
222309 - an "Exit" gate.
222311 - ..
222312 - Paused and started to check the situation.
222314 - ..
222315 - Then suddenly, realized this was Richard waiting for Ross and I.
222317 - ..
222318 - Very fun surprise!
222320 - ..
222321 - Assumed, Richard and Ross would be driving in a car and pick me up at
222322 - outside on the street at Arrivals, after getting baggage, per planning
222323 - with Ross this morning, above. ref SDS 21 1F47
222325 - ..
222326 - Richard said he has talked to Ross, and that Ross' American Airlines
222327 - plane is still on the runnway.
222329 - ..
222330 - We visited for about 10 minutes; then Ross came through the same gate.
222332 - ..
222333 - It was wonderful of Richard to park and come into the concourse to
222334 - meet us, rather than drive in circles through the Arrivals area
222335 - waiting for me to retrieve baggage.
222337 - ..
222338 - We walked to baggage claim carosel. While waiting for my bag to
222339 - arrive, Ross changed cloths in the men's room from casual wear for
222340 - the flight into attire approporiate for Kerry's memorial service.
222342 - ..
222343 - Apparently, this change in plans was worked out between Richard and
222344 - Ross with cell phones, including the early arrival of our flights
222345 - today. Since my cell phone was lost through the AT&T transaction on
222346 - Thursday, 110908 1322, ref SDS 20 W445, they could not update me.
222347 - Richard's experience working with airport security facilitated
222348 - positioning himself to intercept me.
222350 - ..
222351 - Richard led the way through the airport to his car, about 300 yards
222352 - away in the parking lot. It was striking to see so few people in
222353 - the airport and so few cars in the parking lot.
222355 - ..
222356 - Richard drove us into to San Francisco. Great seeing familiar
222357 - places again.
222359 - ..
222360 - They dropped me at the Civic Center BART station, and then went on to
222361 - Kerry Furr's memorial service.
