Jeebus, Bleach -- what's happening in Denver? My daughter is stuck on a plane in a snowstorm!
I swear that every food service worker at the MSP airport looked like Ilhan Omar. They were good at what they did, though.
chick, they have "looked" like that for a long, long time at the MSP airport. I makes me wonder before I get on the plane. Am I going to make it to my destination?
