I'll fly away!
Dr. ER and I are gettin on a "tall bus"" in a couple of hours to fly to Colorado.
Gulp. First time I've flown since 9/09/01.
Recall what happened *that* time:
9/10/01.
9/11/01.
9/12/01.
9/13/01.
9/14/01.
9/15/01.
So, I am a little uneasy ...

Chill, ER! If your number's up, your number's up and you just gotta roll with things.
That said, even folding in all the deaths from 2001, flying is still by far the safest way to travel.

Damn the Airlines.
Given the mess in the NE, here is hopeing your return flight isn't a leg of one coming in from NYC or DCA.
Anything I can reach within 10 hours or driving, I drive. I've spent far too many days trapped in an airport within a drive 10hours or less from home. Not to mention that the average fight time from OKC to almost anywhere has two legs and multiple hours stopovers in DFW, St. Louis, or Cincinatti, which means even when they all work it takes 6 to 10 hours to get anywhere. Besides those cabins are often pressurized only to the 10,000 feet
level. That lack of O2 is not good for an old man's heart or brain or blood pressure.
Here's hopeing that the guy flying your aluminium tube six miles up the air doesn't have a hangover from the all night party that is the reason he didn't get any sleep and that any of the birds ingested in your plane's engines are small ones, and that the oil company that sold the airline its jet fuel didn't get it mixed up with some bunker "C" oil that they were recycling.
Have a calm and relaxed trip.
