Monday Morning Memo

Flying to Boulder to see family.   
This is what happens when you haven’t traveled for 7 years:

I almost missed my Uber. Stumbled around checking in at the SW kiosk. Then went to drop off my bag and the attendant told me I’d skipped the line. WTF?

Couldn’t find my flight on the Departures screen. I’m fuming till I realize I’m flying to Denver, NOT Boulder.

Got to security. I didn’t know you got your photo taken. I dropped my boarding pass and both the TSA guy and I went to pick it up. We knocked heads so hard I thought we’d have to call 911 for the guy.

I get to the security line and I hear the TSA guy say, “Shoes… shoes… SHOES!” He was talking to me.

Went to buy a Vitamin Water at the newsstand. Now self checkout. I’m still not sure if I paid or not.

Oh, and I threw away the tab part of my luggage check in. I hope they’ll let me get the bag.

I have become the idiot that used to piss me off in the old travel days.

Random Quote:

“Our perception does not identify the outside world as it really is, but the way that we are allowed to recognize it, as a consequence of transformations performed by our senses. We experience electromagnetic waves, not as waves, but as images and colors. We experience vibrating objects, not as vibrations, but as sounds. We experience chemical compounds dissolved in air or water, not as chemicals, but as specific smells and tastes. Colors, sounds, smells and tastes are products of our minds, built from sensory experiences. They do not exist, as such, outside our brain. Actually, the universe is colorless, odorless, insipid and silent. Although you and I share the same biological architecture and function, perhaps what I perceive as a distinct color and smell is not exactly equal to the color and smell you perceive. We may give the same name to similar perceptions, but we cannot know how they relate to the reality of the outside world. Perhaps we never will.”

- Dr. Jorge Martins de Oliveira
