Nation wide airport shutdown….

[Dave Boyle]

Time to start drinking so you are buzzed enough before the airport bar closes to sleep on a bench.

I had to do that once in Chicago for thunder storm shut down, I was stuck between one bar playing disco all night and another 500’ away playing soft rock. Both really fucking loud. I was given a grimy plastic mattress. I asked a cop on a segue to stop it and he noted, nothing I can do, but do NOT go into either bar. It was truly hell. Never get connecting flights thru the Midwest in the summer or connecting flights, a oner or I’m doner.

I did a 6 hour layover in a NJ airport coming back from Kentucky.. but had my laptop and a few new books.. then a 6 hour flight from hell back to Seatac with screaming kids and toys.. I should have walked home...

I once bribed the person who runs those massage chairs in SeaTac to let me sleep in one after it stopped running. Then when that place closed I got as many drinks in at the bar as I could before it closed, then slept on a bench. Not a great night.

Not sure I wanna be in some first flights after a correction that took so long to identify.

After 6+ hours on the tarmac I think I'd be up for taking some chances.

Hopefully nobody is traveling today in their pajamas or slippers.

We managed to book a couple of not horrible hotel rooms pretty close to the airport. Found a "Six" market and currently drinking a Tecate and eating the crunchiest chicharones ever.

Just saw a plane fly overhead into SeaTac...

Yes, the jets are making noise again. Sea Tac is going to be busy! Is the shutdown over?
