Lets Get Boeing

 

Who knew that when my traveling compadre and I stepped off the Grand Princess last March that the ship would sail off to Hawaii and become a covid death ship, sailing back and forth along the California Coast hoping for any port.

Grand Princess Docked In Oakland

 The Grand ended up quarantined at the industrial port of Oakland with the surviving passengers and crew captive on board, for several weeks. Not a grand way to extend your cruise.

 I made it home okay and outside of a koffee grinder that I had to threaten with a knife in order to get it to grind, the lock down for me, at least was not all that bad.

 I could step out on the deck and listen to the howls of coyotes instead of the din of traffic.

The Steller Jays still wanted almonds, and Costco made masks mandatory, and even  opened early for seniors. Maybe best of all there were no school zones to slow you down on the way to get the almonds.

But best of all no one in our household got sick, even when there were a thousand new cases a day. Believing in science is good.

 But now my phone needs to pair with OHMS again, so here I am back in 2D flying south.  

 Air travel is perfectly safe again Alaska Air says, especially since they have installed medical grade HEPA air filters, and masks are mandatory. I think the middle seat might still be vacant for the premium seats  but the curtain has been closed, so I may never know.

And if you had any doubts about how covid safe this plane is Alaska has installed mood lighting in the forward lavatory.

Opps wrong. the bulb is burning out and only flickers, and the fright attendant says the raft is missing from the overhead.  But I am sure those filters are working.

 The fellow in the window seat is wearing a camouflage jacket. I am debating telling him that if his final destination is Barbados, then he should change, because they won’t let him in.

Ahh maybe I will just take a nap instead and rest up for the inevitable N-C Gate shuffle…
