It happened on January 16th at 6:40pm Pacific Standard Time: Heraldo Botelho, of Palo Alto, CA, purchased a flight offset for his upcoming trip to visit his family in Brazil.
Weird. At the same time, 3:30pm Eastern Standard Time, I was 10 minutes into teaching my third class of the second day during the first week of the spring semester. The coincidence just, well, astounds me.
