Raleigh Races
My flight last night to Raleigh-Durham was over an hour late, so to make up for it, Southwest comped us all free drinks & food. It was an overwhelmingly nice gesture, particularly as airline after airline announces cutbacks, higher ticket prices, and a-la carte pricing for everything from checked bags to on-board pillows.
The attendants single-handedly turned a very annoyed group of fliers into a very relaxed, chatty, jovial group, which is something not easily accomplished. I was impressed, and it actually made me (briefly) forget about the demeaning way in which we all had to line up by number to board the plane, as though we were in kindergarten.
Today: TDI racing, Flying Saucer, and general relaxation.
