I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And now there are cops here. The people who were on the plane are obviously pissed.

Um, and EMTs?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get that, because travel delays suck, but wouldn't you rather get off the likely-to-catch-fire plane before taking off?

Because books.

A "little bit on fire" still doesn't sound good for a plane.

The fire plane was their second plane. But still, it never does any good to get snappy.

The fire plane was their second plane.

Wait. They couldn't get on their first plane, and the second plane for them caught fire?

I don't think the gods get much more clearer in "You don't want to take this trip, people."

ION, someone brought their small child to work, and said small child has discovered that if it makes loud noises in the lobby, those loud noises will echo up all four floors that look into the atrium. The joys of modern architecture.

They got on the first plane and it came back for mechanical. The second plane had the fire.

I am suddenly not quite so sanguine about getting on a US Air flight. But my other option is staying in Charlotte.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh dear Dana, what a mess!

I need a way to ease into my day. I'm thinking... Japanese market to buy barley tea for DH. He's been downing a pitcher a day.

There' some kind of clusterfuck going on at a gate next to mine, so I hope it's not contagious. Sounds like their plane caught a little bit on fire?!?

Holy crap. Between that, the crazy weather delays from last night, delays, and a friend who posted that he had to wait for the cops before he could get off his flight because they were leading some woman off the plane, it sounds like a sketchy day for travel. ...I leave for the airport in two hours.
