Logan International and my first full body scan. I'm not sure how I feel about that and haven't fully processed it yet. Tired, tired. But since I'm in Ben Franklin's birthplace it seems like I remember a quote from the great statesman that went something like "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither." Well, there you have it my first political post and first nude photo and it is not even 8 am. Where's the coffee?
8:21 addendum: Everyone on their cell phones. An old rant here but good lord I'd love to jam every signal. So annoying with everyone talking loud enough to hear two terminals away.
8:44: Saw a young man with both legs gone wearing an Army shirt and being pushed in a wheelchair. Damn, these guys and gals have given so much for us. I wish I could have bought him a drink or breakfast but he was on his way to catch a flight.
8:52: A bird is flying around in the terminal. The US Airways clerk says the feathered flyer has been here for two weeks.
9:02: Ok, I am going to close the computadora down for awhile and read a little Stephen King's On Writing. Then >>>>>>>>

London Town
The home of The Beatles, Stones, and Mrs. Peel. I love this city but why technical difficulties! Of course, I hope they take their time fixing it.
4:00 pm addendum: London Pride is a darn fine brew while you are waiting.
Addendum 2 (thirty minutes later): The second and third London Prides are even better. But being stuck when you want to get home sucks.
5:51 pm random bubly induced thought: what is the greatest airport film ever. Or maybe just the greatest scene in an airport. My quick pick is McQueen's Bullitt.
6:31 pm Patti Abbott has me looking at everyone's shoes. So far I'm spotting a lot of extreme pointed shoes. I can't say I like the style.
7:38 pm Chaos is close: Student protesters run wild in London, storm Tory HQ.
7:40 pm I've been told the plane will be ready soon. >>>>>>>

Vienna
In case you were wondering Vienna is scenic as hell and quite cold. Another day, another airport terminal. Won't be staying long>>>>>>>
