The Friendly Skies...

Is there an invention better than that of the airplane? And can you imagine what kind of drugs the guys had to be on to even THINK of it during their day...and the balls it took to actually attempt to create and FLY one?! WHOO!!! But damn sure glad they did...damn sure glad! I mean what is life without travel? Even with the current high prices, damn near getting naked going through security, (And if your are like me ALWAYS being "selected" for further "screening". I am a last minute chick and often book a flight the day b4 travel...so I do it to myself, i guess.) getting on "puddle jumpers" when need be, circling when there's air conjestion (scary thought if you reaaaly think about it), and every now and then the pilot miscalculating the landing --swooping down only to pull back up to try again (Nervewracking to say the least! -- Such a tease!). But even with all of that, I find myself on a plane every chance I get!
So anyway, I just flew home to NYC this morning and was thinking as I always do. "Who are these people that I am flying with?" "Are they from the departure or arrival city?" I typically start with the clothing. Woman next to me this morning:

• Long, black, very worn leather trench coach (and it was not vintage"), black faux (read: cheap, cheesey) leather bag and boots.
  
• I think to myself she must be from MICHIGAN (the departure city)

Woman across from me:

• Bright, red down feather vest, jeans and red leather PUMA's
• Now she didnt look cute but it was obvious she was from NYC possibly a Jamaican chick from Brooklyn. I am almost positive she was West Indian with that bright color coordination

A couple ( I name them as a couple because --- You guessed it -- THEY WERE DRESSED ALIKE:

• Matching green, Spartan sweatsuits!
  
• I wonder who are the Spartans? Then they turn to reveal ...MICHIGAN on the front, So no need to figure where they "represent"

OOOOOhhhhh but wait it gets worst! ANOTHER couple:

• Blue, mesh MICHIGAN STATE sweatsuits to match!
• What is with these folks (yes...folks!)?
  

And the rest kinda went like this....a few businessmen, a few chic Blondes, a skater type and a backpacker (who knows where she was from)...then I wondered, why oh why were they in Detroit!? Oh me? I had on tall black (very) high heeled boots, a black cashmere coat, Citizens of Humanity jeans, and a black tee under a blazer...the NYC uniform, I suppose. Wonder if anyone was wondering where I was from!?
