Flying time



I had packed an assortment of goodies that the internet informs me Americans do not have, Tim Tams and the like. In it I placed a small jar of vegemite.

This was confiscated by Airport Security. Apparently our beloved national foodstuff is a weapon of terror.

Why do you hate freedom?
The flight to Sydney was uneventful, and Sydney airport was dull. Thankfully I didn't have to stay very long.
I am a rainy airport. I am dull.

On the flight to LA I was sat next to some couple that mostly kept to themselves and needed to pee too much (aisle seat).

I had to run to make it to the flight to Seattle as US security is much slower to get through than in Australia* and then it turned out they delayed the plane for almost 30 minutes as there were 18 other passengers that were on a delayed flight that needed to board.


On the plane to Seattle I was sat next to a gay felon.

Those two things aren't related at all, they're just some of the main things I learned about him, and I couldn't fit Music Theory student in there and have it be as punchy. He's a felon because at the age of 16 he got charged with burglary (and presumably tried as an adult if he still has a felony record) for stealing a master key to his school and locking classroom doors between classes as a prank. I have no idea why he's gay, probably just loves the cock too much I guess.

Apparently being a felon means he can't travel to Australia or England (which is why it came up), although Canada will let him in if he is willing to pay $300 a day to be there.

The clouds on the way up to Seattle were interesting. They were so light and fluffy it looked someone had poured laundry detergent foam across the landscape with only the mountains poking through:
Hard to see how fluffy they are. Delta has no regard for the cleanliness of their windows.

This was also the plane with the space wifi from a post or two ago.




* It's not that it's more invasive or anything, we do exactly the same checks as they do, they're just lazy and do it all slower. Probably because no one is tipping them...
