they got me the bag like 36 hours later after multiple fuckups, wheeeeee

I'm in an airport for the first time in ages. S'weird, everything seems back to normal except the masks.

Uh I’m at Washington National and there are a lot of unmasked people despite the rules.

probably senators

it's been a while

At BWI with people eating all around me and one woman with a Green Bay Packers sweatshirt (so you know she’s unvaxxed) defiantly unmasked.

Good 'ol BWI. Stay safe.

I traveled from BWI a week before Thanksgiving and then came back on Dec 11th and it was the nearest I'd ever come to hardcore holiday flying, and YIKES. Sending good energy to you and anyone doing this this year

Thanks

Haven’t flown since 2018, totally insane that all these people are not wearing masks

yeah I mean like, people get sick at the airport anyway

the airport is the only place where I see white people from the suburbs or whatever and I hate all of them so much

yeah I mean like, people get sick at the airport _anyway_

were they classy, icky, or dudes?

People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

Living in London has really taken any affection I had for airports out of me lol. The standardization is a bummer too, like every airport in Europe now having that damn duty free shopping corridor you need to go through.

My flight was booked for 6am so I stayed up and left the house at 3:15am. Flight was changed to 9:45am so I tried napping supine on the banks of chairs. It was phenomenally uncomfortable!

Nobody looks cool going through TSA screening. This, I suddenly realize, is my biggest issue with flying: I only like things that look cool

There’s a Sammy’s here (as in Hagar). Do I go for some tequila?

does a Hagar shit in the woods? hell yes brother

It’s a good tequila and I think you deserve it. Try not to show up in a viral video later.

I was desperate enough to hear a follow up to 1984 that I gave 5150 another chance last weekend after nearly 30 years of abstinance. Starting with "Dreams", i made it as far as "reach for the golden ring" on my first attempt before switching it off.

The second time through was unbearably sad, though. It's the optimism for a future that never materialized, where you know you're watching a tragedy but the actors still think it's another kind of play. Part of it is def that there's a certain brand of corporate modernism preserved in amber, like they've ditched the laser grid of 1984, put on a blazer and stepped into the Frasurbane Mcdonalds. But also the energy of a new creative partnership that seems full of promise but already peaked.

Oh, Sammmy, I'd love a tequila TY for offering.

So I get to Orlando International Airport to get my mother. I miss the turn for cell phone lot so I cut through Departing Flights cos it's empty.

Few lights illuminated, unusually dark. I see this item lying there in my lane almost immediately and swerve out of the way.

It's a fucking car bumper. No cones to warn about it or any attempt to clear it, just this serious road hazard sitting there right almost immediately after you bank left.

This Airport is just more and more bizarre every day.

maybe it had fallen off the previous car to pass through and you were the first person to have the opportunity to clear it

Probably lucky it wasn't landing gear or some other important part of a Boeing plane.

I'm going with the more likely explanation that there was an accident that occurred there a while ago

Xpost yeah ain't nobody wanna be Donnie Darkoed

In any case I couldn't see what it was until I had already swerved out of its way. Due to lack of lighting

I was in the Austin airport last week and it wasn't bad except for having to walk almost a mile outside in 100 F heat to get to the taxi/rideshare pickup location.

Oi that's brutal

free bumper, dude
when I was in Austin they had an entire section of the lower parking garage set up for uber/whatever that was attached to the airport but warm. did they move it?

I say warm as a pejorative here because the air wasn’t moving and it was just a bit toasty

Maybe it was the gates I flew into but yeah had to walk through a section of parking garage then go up a floor then walk some more to the pickup zone

no good!
