2023 starting strong: A cool clear night to walk along the waterfront with a couple of friends and their dog, enjoying the stillness of the water, the lights and sounds of people partying on the other side, and a short, small unsanctioned fireworks display.

I just want software to do what I tell it to. Why is that so hard?

First in the airlines list there is "MFI (Missionary Flights International) fly to Cap also from Florida, but only registered non-Catholic Christian missionaries are welcome aboard." And then there's Labadee:
