En route

I’m in the C terminal at SeaTac right now utilizing their awesomely free WiFi access, and it just crossed my mind that I’ve never sat near one of the drinking water fountains before. They appear to be programmed to produce a “water flowing glub glub” sound effect when the faucet is being utilized. It’s pretty entertaining…

Today has gone well so far, however I’m tired after sleeping for only about three hours last night. I was fighting off some pretty severe micro sleeps en route to the airport.

Check-in was a breeze, and I felt sorry for all the Delta passengers who were milling about the ticketing counter looking upset. If I were booked on a flight to the south I probably wouldn’t have bothered coming to the airport today… I mean… really? Have you heard the news or seen a weather report?

The TSA woman who checked my passport was really cool, and while standing in line I made a friend who lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for a while and knows of my hometown. The TSA guy who directed me through the metal detector complimented me on my T-shirt which reads, “I’m only here because my server is down”. Overall it’s been a happy TSA kind of trip!

Ah, actually there is one small exception. There was one TSA guy at the security station who shouted something about, “If you fail to take out and claim one little liquid in your bag — we WILL walk you!”. In response everyone in my line exchanged funny looks and were like, “Walk you? What does that mean?”. The girl behind me was like, “Did he say walk you, or lock you?”, so then the joke became, “Aw shit, they‘re going to lock us up”.

Well, that’s about it for me right now. Yeah, I still love traveling.
