Six Lanes and no where to go

The ride back to the airport took about an hour, it's good that we finished early or I would have missed the filght. All those lanes and very little movement. Seems traffic would gridlock near the interchanges and a few residential exits. Rolling down the freeway at 65 then creeping at 5 or just putting it in park. Sign says "OZONE ALERT TOMORROW" "TRY RIDE SHARING" so I look over at the ride share lane. it's practicaly empty with the exception of the occasional perp whizzing past us with nobody else in their speed buggy. Then there was the chips team rolling through traffic, side by side? Airport signs were minimal and rental return signs were worse. Coming into the north entrance there's a toll road, so for a few miles trying to return the car I'm thinking whats this going to cost... Pull up to the attendant and he smiles and says "no charge" "have a nice day" THANKS, I will... Back at the rental car place there's a gazillion cars in this centralized location, I pull up and the guy says "sir, your gas is only at 7/8th of a tank" I'm like, yep... So then he starts telling me where to go and get gas for the next time. This seems a little odd, I'm wondering if they don't top them off if you come back and the gauge reads full? Now for the seven minute bus ride back to the terminal. Ticketing was a breeze, I'm early and cruising towards security. This frenchmen in front of me is arguinging with the screener that he shouldn't have to take off his shoes cause they won't make the beeper go beep. Mine are already in the bucket:-) I'm thinking this guys screwed. So he finally agrees and takes off his shoes and walks through. Then I hear "sir, is this your bag?" and the frenchmen is like "wee" so the screener says "you have been selected for additional screening" and then turns, smiles and waves me through. I grabbed my stuff and headed for the gate snickering a little under my breath...
