I flew out from El Paso to San Diego this morning on a 6:30 flight. Once we got above the clouds at about 20,000 ft, the view out the window was stunning with the low angle sun illuminating only certain layers of clouds. My phone camera doesn’t do justice to the sight I was treated to this morning.
That we get to ride in a pressurized metal tube at 38,000ft going 475mph (at cruise, I was keeping a GPS track on my phone), and the average person can afford to do so, is proof positive for me that we live i n glorious times. I love to fly.
I also saw this place again on landing in San Diego. This weekend should be a lot better than the last the last time in 2006 I was at the airport at o’dark thirty to catch a Southwest flight to San Diego. Bad things happened shortly thereafter involving yellow footprints.
There was a platoon outside the recruit chow hall as we went by. I fell confident saying they weren’t enjoying their Thanksgiving breakfast. To be fair, the animated drill instructor waving his arms and screaming at them probably wasn’t having fun either.
Happy Thanksgiving, Oppo.

Happy thanksgiving.
The California coast as seen on my early Tuesday morning flight from Long Beach to Sacramento. Flying is truly remarkable.

Headed home from Kauai, had to transfer to Maui first. Flew over Oahu and Maui (windmills), I thought it would be less busy to fly on Thanksgiving... it was cheaper

The El Paso airport was surprisingly busy at 5am this morning. After all the na tionwide weather cancelations yesterday, I got the feeling I was flying with a lot of people who didn't make it to wherever they were going to yesterday.

That’s probably the case.
