Fixin’ to fly

lr airport I’m watching the Early Show on CBS and Harry Smith is clearly out of his depth interviewing a drag racer whose car exploded in flames.

The guy walked away from it because he knew what to do and because the onboard fire control system worked. Anyone who knows about drag racing knows it looks way worse than it was. But, of course, the Early Show producers and witless Harry Smith were stuck in the “gee whiz, miraculous escape from certain death” perception. Consequently, Harry comes across as a complete moron. But then he is a complete moron.

Their musical guest this morning is Jewel, who still hasn’t got her teeth fixed.

We’re hanging out at the Little Rock National Airport (notice “national” and not “international”) waiting for our flight to DFW to board in about two hours. We have a bit of a layover and then fly on to TUS (Tucson) where we pick up a rental car and motor on down to Morgan and Andrew’s place in Sierra Vista.

Considering all of the camera and other electronic junk in our carry-ons, getting through security was surprisingly easy. I startled the TSA guys by thanking them for what they do.
