aerospace

I like visiting my in-laws, this is fun.

However, getting here was rather annoying - I don't mind airplanes at all, it's the getting on and off of them that sucks. There are no direct flights to Oklahoma, so we hopped planes a lot. Although I must say I do like the Bellingham Airport, it's nice.

I still don't understand why people have to put their tiny chapstick and teeny tiny purell bottle into a ziplock bag in order to take it on the plane. I felt sorry for the little old 78 year old lady in front of me who just wanted to go to Reno and have clean hands and unchapped lips.

The stewardess - er, flight attendant, whatever - they said the same thing on each flight. Why do they feel the need to blare their voice for ten minutes at the beginning and end of each flight this pointless information everyone already knows? Is it required by law or something?

And they all sounded so out of it, "And uh, uhh, at the -- rear -- you will find, uhh, two, uhh, exit rows... and we are now approaching our, uh, destination, which is, uhh, umm, Denver? Denver. No, Oklahoma City. Uhhh."

Maybe it's just air travel makes me grumpy.
