Try not to fly. Standing in line is not my thing. I start sweating, get frigidity, and fit "profile" Hoyt Aug 2018 #3

It is like a greyhound bus in the air anymore. I did move a flight last year from 9/11 to the day after, it sounds silly, but I did do it.

whether it’s a 9/11 blue.
That’s what I remember from the day. The amazing blue sky.
That being said, I am flying back from Italy on 9/10. Hadn’t even thought about dates.

I always get pulled aside for further search, and that just makes me look/act more suspicious. Really need to be drugged. Fortunately, I like to drive.

Nerves got the better of me. It wasn't the date for me, just flying. I have now gotten over it.
