Answering the question: Do dingoes really steal babies?
So I didn't miss my flight...but actually I almost did. The first leg of the journey was to fly from SeaTac into LAX. If you fly on frequent flyer miles, you are one step above livestock. They won't give you a confirmed seat, even though I booked th...
