*I had to connect through Atlanta to go to Louisiana because the fare for the non-stop was twice as much
*Atlanta's just a bit out of the way
*But at least I didn't get bumped
*Except then there was weather
*And a mechanical problem
*I was going to have to spend the night in Atlanta
*Instead of that I finagled another night in Louisiana and then I got to travel non-stop the next morning
*No extra fare
*It was their fault
*Plus I got a room at a swanky hotel (see pillows and carpet below)
*The flight the next morning was so early that there was no way to get coffee for a while
*I had been feeling pretty smug about my coffee consumption lately
*It's much less than it used to be
*Turns out I'm still addicted though
*The ride in the van from the hotel to the airport (at 5:30 in the morning in the dark) was perilous
*The line to get through security was slooooooowwwwwwwww
*I think Louisiana is not so efficient as Minnesota
*All of my (admittedly limited) energy was being used to suppress the urge to start screaming, "What is wrong with you people?!?!?!?!?" while I was in line
*Then I had to be put into the body scanner
*I was on the verge of bursting from frustration
*The body scanner noticed something in the pocket of my cardigan so I had to have a pat down anyway
*My boarding pass was in my pocket
*After getting my shoes back on, putting my liquids back in my bag and my boarding pass into my pocket, I ran down the concourse to find coffee
*I got a biscuit with egg and sausage and cheese to go with the coffee
*Southern biscuits are yummy
*Next month I'm going to Rapid City on business
*That's another purchased ticket
*Another opportunity to be a valued customer
*Can't wait
