saver

But I was recently reminded of a serious time saver for anyone flying into Burbank on Alaska, American, Avelo or Southwest airlines who doesn’t need ramp access: When you board your Burbank-bound flight, instead of jockeying for seat up front, try to grab one as far toward the back as possible.

No denying it — the driving-directions app that bosses you around on the road is squeezing the life out of Loyd Sigmon’s name and his namesake baby, that fine Southern California creation, the preserver of life and saver of time: the SigAlert.

If you’re a habitual saver, not to say hoarder, of personal memorabilia — snapshots, postcards, clippings, ticket stubs, notes-to-self, — the time comes when you need to figure out what to do with the stuff — sort-and-toss, or deep store? — if only to clear space for more.

The artist Lyle Ashton Harris is just such a saver, and he’s found a terrific solution.

The 2010 Derby Borel won with Super Saver stuck out as the blueprint to hang tight to the rail, get the lead and cross the finish line first.
