Mmmm. Very hot.

(Though I can't help thinking things like, "Which highway are they on?" *g* The perils of living where a story is set.)

It's been a while, but I remember a loooooong drive from downtown to the airport, even when there's no traffic and no weather.

Thanks!

And see, I start to react with, "Oh, it's not really that long a drive. It's just 30-45 minutes from my...house.... Oh." *koff* Apparently because I'm stuck with it, my brain has chosen to forget that it's a long-ass drive out there. *g*

I think I've been in that hailstorm, too.

I got spoiled living in Queens ten minutes away from La Guardia. And now I'm on the West Side of Manhattan and it's a twenty minute train ride from Newark.

Apparently because I'm stuck with it, my brain has chosen to forget that it's a long-ass drive out there. *g*

That's better than dwelling on it *g*. Whenever I've been to Denver we've joked that the airport is actually in Utah.

Kansas, actually. *g*

I envy your Manhattan-ness, btw. Not just for nearby airports, but because I would sell my children to live in NYC. Well, one of them at least. ;-)

I automatically pictured a specific spot on I-70. Heh.

[z_rayne]

See, and until she said "highway," I was picturing that straight stretch of Buckley (er, Airport Blvd).

[girly_curl_3]

Yeah, I was also thinking of the long empty stretches of Pena Blvd, where there's nothing but the state patrol.

[z_rayne]

Pena Blvd

I grew up off of Yale and Buckley, so it will forever be Buckley to me, no matter how many times they change the name. *g*

[girly_curl_3]

Heh, yeah, I knew what you meant. :) I've lived here my whole life, so I still think the airport is off Quebec!
