Flying: I Could Do Without That

If you know me, I am not a big fan of flying. It's the poor man's time travel. (Problem is, the "rich man's time travel" doesn't exist yet!) Anyway......

No pics. I should have gotten the camera out for a few great missed opportunities though. After I got to Vegas, even more bizzarre stuff presented itself. Here's a short, but not all inclusive listing....
  • The plane jockeying and gate changes in Minneapolis caused a few stampedes. Odd in that it didn't matter how fast you got there, since all you could do was wait. And wait......
  • The awesome thunderstorm coming into Vegas. The lightning was spectacular outside of the plane, (and not really near us, thank God!), and on top of all of that, the full moon was in full display above the storm. So rad!
  • I saw several friends homes from the air on the way to Minneapolis. I saw Milltown Cycles, and Gnat's house quite clearly. That was fun.
  • Vegas has really odd folks going about. I got stuck in an elevator with a transvestite, and a female impersonator was hawking tickets for a show in the casino.  
More stuff will happen, I'm sure, and I'll have the camera at the ready. Stay tuned.......
