Don't Drink and Drive the Septic Truck

Brad Feld, one of my fellow board members at Feedburner, has written on occasion about his love/hate relationship with United. Tonight, Brad, I was thinking of you. After United made us wait for two hours due to "mechanical" difficulties, we lost our plane (and gained another 5 hours of layover in Salt Lake City) when the septic truck servicing the plan accidentally rammed the plane. The driver supposedly hit the plane perfectly along a seam of rivets, taking the plane out of service. I am only sorry I did not have my digital camera out to capture the SLC police giving the guy an alcohol test on the tarmac...
