Previous | Next :: Hanging Out at Terminal 2 : JFK : NYC | July 23, 2013, 3:18 am

Well, it was a day of woe and drama in the skies over the NE quadrant of the USA ......... mega storms paralyzed airports and grounded tons of flights and a hard landing on the runway at LGA blocked that important NYC airport for hours .......... I spent the day at JFK the biggest NYC airport ....... first waiting about in terminal 4 .... then waiting at three different gates at terminal 2 before finally the expected flight turned up ...... then I waited another 1.5 hours with the plane on the tarmac before it could take off again ........... an Egyptian woman I spoke to who had just arrived from Cairo did not believe there were any storms (although a quick peek out of the window might have caused something of a rethink) ........ she instead preferred to blame the US government .... this was all designed to control ignorant people :-))) ??? ...... I often enjoy a totally off-the-wall 'conspiracy theorist' ...... I have known some great Egyptian 'conspiracy theorists' previously they certainly do seem to enjoy a culture of 'conspiracy theories' in the Middle East :-))) ...... Some of these Egyptian guys I knew previously were right up there ..... they really were some of the most entertaining 'conspiracy theorists' I have ever known .......... they seemed to need no reason or evidence and they were never diffident ..... theirs were the purist form of 'conspiracy theories' not sullied by evidence or any hint of reason and always delivered with verve and passion ......... so I listened politely today ....... after all the free entertainment was needed I was going nowhere ........... there was hours and hours more of government generated and implemented pretend storms to keep up the 'ground stop' ......... :-)))) gotta kip.........
