Things I Learned Today, or Lessons from an Airplane
1) From above, the lights of one of the suburbs of Vegas looks a bit like the outline of a chicken in a cast
2) It is impossible to make your connecting flight on time if your first flight begins its descent as the second begins boarding
3) Los Vegas actually does exude a palatable cloud of sleaze
4) There must be a black mark on my file somewhere, as I have been "randomly" selected for special security consideration on >50% of my flights now
5) Delta has better food
6) I still can't sleep on planes
7) The words "we may pass through a couple of thunderstorms today on the way" are never a good sign, even when delivered with a charming British accent
8) Inexplicably, I get much less motion sick on planes than in cars
9) Spaceflight sounds cool and all, but whenever we get around to inventing it it will be just like this.
