| Early bird flight back to Calgary and was pleasantly surprised with the 6C weather today. Felt nice not to bundle up. A little sluggish. |

| Been a funny day so here is a story. As I was at the airport at 6:30AM this old dude sits across from me and decides he would chat me up. After exchanging pleasantries I thought it would be over. However he wouldn't shut his trap and keeps asking me questions. In the process I realized the dude was hammered from booze just from his breath. He asked me about drug tests and if I ever took one and my opinion if cold medication and other over the counter cold meds could be detected. Meh? Sorry never had to piss in a cup for that. Thank goodness the plane boards and I jet for the gate. However I see the old man from PEI sitting behind me on the plane. Safe! Beside me in my aisle is a younger guy whose girlfriend is sitting beside the drunk. I tell the youngster thank goodness I'm not beside him but felt sorry for his girlfriend. But the friendly east coast nature in Mr. PEI Vodka-Potato decides to exchange seats with the boyfriend - i shake my fist at the youngster in sarcasm and I get stuck with the drunk in the middle seat, while his girlfriend is mouthing apologies to me. Tough break and worse 4hr flight ever. I felt worse for the older lady beside him who got tortured with his chit chat but almost couldn't get out to the bathroom cause we almost couldn't wake him from his booze snooze! I also had to press his reclining button a few time when the stewardess wanted the upright position and when he was struggling to recline it since he thought it was a car was looking for the latch under the seat. I swear he got drunker as the flight progressed but thankfully he eventually passed out. Although I couldn't access my TV controls since the guy hogged the entire armrests - he wasn't a small guy either. Good times.
As an aside, when we landed the captain on the plane gets on the radio and says "we're coming to a complete stop, don't be alarmed by the fire trucks surrounding the plane" Apparently they needed to check out a hotspot on one the tires as an alarm that went off as we landed. That could have been treacherous. Whacky flight. |
