Planes.  Fun.  I've been on one substantial flight in the last few years
and that was to OSCON 2000 in Monterey.  I got to Heathrow, checked in,
had breakfast and *then* they decided to cancel the flight.  So I had to
run and get an earlier one.  I got to Chicago, a large customs man with a
handgun questioned me, I queued for a while and, again, had to run for the
flight.  I got to LA, ran for my next flight in a teeny plane and my
luggage got left behind.

What an adventure!  Almost as good as getting lost in Singapore airport.

It's Friday, I'm waffling.
