Airport Art

I love airport art. I really do. But then again I like allota art:)
Airport are a different zone though. Things feel more 'special'
Food, books, shirts. Even Texas Pralines. I almost bought a box thinkin 'someone in Maine needs these'
Anyway, I didn't buy them. Sometimes I'm smart like that.
But really, even time is 'special' hours are minutes and days are gone in a wisp. Time changes and everything becomes relative. 
That's where food comes in. The choices of food in airports seem so glamorous.  Even a burger fries and beer. Hot damn its good. The price..not so much.
35bucks on the credit card.
So I got frustrated at the security line. Anyone relate?
This guy in front of me..I could tell it was trouble. He had two buckets with nothin in um. He was alow as molasses.  Taken shoes off. There was only one bin left. So I grabbed one from the other line and got a look from the gaurd.  No matter how much you get ready the amount of undressing and revealing seems never enough.
And for some odd reason they had to check my ankles.
Finally we got through, but I noticed a back up of empty bins.  And the slow guy was still getting dressed. The line was beginning to bunch and a couple of sockless wonders were now to my right.
So I just looked at the guy and shared. Didnt think youd have to get undressed ag as in this early f id ya
With a pat on the back. He an I smiled. He returned, 'I cant even get up this early anymore. I coulndt think of hurting anyone.' I smiled and chuckled in agreement cslugging my stuff off the conveyor belt. Then for added measure I gathered the backup of bins consolidating into towers.
I noticed one man pushing a cart stacked with bins rushing to the beginning of the conveyor belt.
Thats when I threw my bag down on the conciliatory 'made it' bench. Whose helping him. I thought. So much fuckin security and so little thought of process. Give me a break;)

Airport Lounge

Well, that was interesting.  Could not sleep after 330am.  I was just awake.
I remembered a flight I took home a few years ago. It was when they first started using the xray machines. There was like a three hour back up and I inevitably missed the flight. Like just. I saw the plane leaving the gate and my heart sank.
So, of course I thought, 'That cannot happen today'!
Neptune is coming to Boston and the second flight that will leave Houston Hobby  at 930am, will be one of the last ones allowed into Boston...so my 330am mind thought.
And now I'm sitting at the airport with an hour to wait.
