Today, Lisa (Justin) and I had a connecting flight in Reno before we got to LAX. There was an hour and a half delay. Ugh. Gosh darn the world. How dare they!!!! Don't they know we are tired. We just had a week vacation in Alaska! We are tired and want to get home to our dogs, dammit ugh. Anyways.... **grumble** I walked over to the "sex and the city" slot machine and dropped some cash in for some entertainment....

Finally!!! Our turn to board.... It is southwest afterall, so everyone is elbowing eachother and making sure they are standing in the exact number order. Always fun.

So we get on the plane, and put my purse in the middle seat, hold hands to try to offend people so no one sits in the middle so Lisa can lay down. It doesn't work, dammit, and we get squished.

I look out the window, and notice military men standing near the plane and there is a hearse. Hmm, thats odd. Never have seen that before. The pilot makes an announcement and says he apologizes for the delay, but the airport was temporarily shut down out of respect for Johnny Blunk, a navy veteran who was killed in the Aurora massacre. His plane had just landed and his casket was removed and being taken to his funeral.

Wow, really puts everyhing into perspective.

Don't sweat the small stuff and don't take life for granted.

Thats on my mind.

Rest in peace, Johnny.
