Last weekend, I went to Washington, D.C. to spend time with Dangerboy, who was already there for a national bike meeting. The weekend was great, and everything was fine until it was time to fly home. Dangerboy and couldn’t fly home together because I booked later than him. I ended up with a flight to Kansas City via Newark, New Jersey. That wasn’t the problem. No, having my flight to Newark cancel, being put on train to Newark, getting stuck in the Newark Airport for 12 hours before having my repeatedly delayed flight to Kansas City cancel, and having to stay overnight in New Jersey — those were the problems.
But now I’m home, and for my sanity’s sake, the comedy of errors known as Continental Airlines doesn’t need to be ranted about anymore. The trip before all that was wonderful. We did lots of sightseeing. Look, we saw a guy with an umbrella in his pocket….
…. because his hands were too busy in his pants.
There were lots of other idiots found in our sightseeing, but my cell phone camera (and my brain) can handle only so much stupidity on one trip.
You know how men love to have hands down their pants. Even their own!
Ugh – sorry you had to deal w/travel misery. Now you’re home and the sun is shining!
Came across this site today and thought it sounded like a perfect thing to mention to you!

Bad travel is one thing but at least stupid people are able to make us laugh at them…and ourselves.
It WAS Jersey, he coulda been carrying his gun in there and just trying to look all casual and shit.
Glad you made it pack in one piece!
