BuMpY rIdEs

So, once again up at O'dark hundred to shower and catch the redeye to destinations unknown. Out the door I go and what do I find? I find a pitch black and rainy morning awaiting my venture outdoors. By the time I get to the vehicle I'm pretty well drenched so I try to dry off before griping the wheel only to remember that I still need to open the gate... So at the airport there all bright eyed and cheerily ready to provide my ticket. Through security I try to go but again, I get to listen to a couple of non frequent fliers complain about removing their shoes... COME ON ALREADY, MOVE ALONG... Honestly, don't these people watch the news, listen to the radio, talk to a friend etc., How can so many still be in the dark about the security process? Anyway I finally cruise through untouched by latex gloves and head for the gate. The flight was somewhat uneventful besides a little turbulence on the way up to the cruising altitude. The flight attendant politely announces there will be no beverage service due to the turbulence. Thanks! Surely nobody wants a beverage this early in the morning anyway, so keep your happy ass buckled for the duration of the flight bucko. Arrival came with a startle, must of dozed off, awoke to a thud, touchdown...oh I hope I wasn't snoring, checking for drool... Regain composure, perusing through the onboard magazine until arriving at the gate as if I'd been awake the entire time. The airport was eerily quiet, seems strange to arrive and only see a few people in a major airport... Off to the rental car area and low and behold guess what? NO CARS, so I go back to the counter for some advice and the shocked attendant says "just take a premium car" so back out I go, guess what? NO PREMIUM CARS! So, back to the counter I go, this time I have to wait in line, (SIDEBAR(I now know why they made that movie "Falling Down".)) Ok so she recognizes me and says "ummm is there no premium cars?" Nod my head no, and she says "Just take an SUV it won't cost you any more" Now why didn't she just say that to start with? The ride in was a pleasant one, the day was full... Heading home soon...
