- In Sea-Tac a large woman cut in front of me in line at the Starbuck's
- counter and ordered a double tall mocha with lots of whipped cream.
- I smirked at her, and ordered a triple espresso macchiato.
-
- The bathroom on a Dash-8 is really too small.
-
- In the Portland airport, the speakers in the ceiling, for no
- apparent reason, thanked us for observing these regulations.
- Repeatedly.
-
- After an hour in my meeting, I had to fight an almost overpowering
- urge to stand and croon "Please release me".
-
- Excellent prawns in black bean sauce for lunch.
-
- Invented a new alphabet during the afternoon session of the meeting
- and amused myself by taking notes in it.
-
- There's no decent beer at the Portland airport. Why do they think
- they can charge people four bucks for a pint of Budweiser and not
- be risking their lives? No wonder the bars are all past the security
- checkpoint.
-
- the doc
