About ten falcons each tied to their own business class seat on Emirates flying from Dubai to NYC.

You can see some pretty odd stuff in terminal 2 at DXB. Late night flights, people with cre=ates full of live chickens they try to check.

I was waiting at the international arrivals at Dulles when a regal African man came out and a group of people waiting in traditional clothes starting playing drums and instruments. It turns out he was a religious leader.

Unfortunately, that is not weird. It is common.


And not just in airports.

I have an emotional support porcupine. Next time I'll let it out.

So sweet 🥹

I had completely forgotten about the Hare Krishnas.

I saw the same thing, by a gate. I think he was dead. It was so upsetting. I wonder how often that happens at airports.


A guy passed out or something at the gate when I was in the airport in Madrid waiting for a flight back to DC. He looked dead. Apparently he wasn't. But the really strange part? They asked if there was a doctor around and there was -- my psychiatrist, who happened to be on the same flight.

When we had an early flight out of Reagan National in May we were waiting at the gate and saw Nancy Pelosi walk by with an entourage. I'm not saying she's strange, but it was strange to see her. I was looking at my phone and DH said "That's Nancy Pelosi" and I looked up. I wouldn't have recognized her, she looked amazing tbh and was wearing super-high wedge heels.
