What I learned on a plane to Denver

Mom, today I learned that if you're over the wing, you'll watch it obsessively for demented creatures who might want to tear it apart, a la, "The Twilight Zone."



I learned that not all TSA security personnel are surly and mean.  This one was quite pleasant.



I learned that planes have buttons you can push to make one arm freakishly longer than the other.



I learned that the Denver Airport has exactly 800 Starbucks locations.



And one of this guy.



And finally, I learned that if you suffer terrible anxiety when flying, you won't need one of these...



...if you have one of these.
