Here We Go Again
It's time to get back to regular updates, and I think this is a good place to start: Atlanta.
There's a reason I try to avoid flying into, out of, or through Atlanta, and that's because it's a crowded pit of Hell. I'm flying Alaska Airlines this time out, and good luck finding anything that indicates where you're supposed to check in. Even the shuttle driver didn't know which terminal to stop at (hint: he picked the wrong one). The attendants at the terminals also don't know which one you should check in at.
Check in at Delta. There aren't any signs, and if you ask, they'll tell you the wrong thing, but if you're flying Alaska, check in at Delta. Trust me. I Do Not Lie.
I missed the flight this morning because of the delays, and not being able to check a bag after 45 minutes prior to flight time. With the amount of tools I carry with me, I have to check a bag, so I was out of luck. Fortunately, they were able to scrounge up a seat on a flight not too much later than the first, and I'm typing this in the terminal right now. There's a pretty good crowd at the gate; not surprising, as almost all of the flights to Salt Lake City are full.
Lots of kids on this flight, too, if the population here is any indication. I'll be alright once I salvage a AAA battery from my wireless mouse to power my noise-canceling headphones (thanks, Jim!).
I've purchased a new camera, specifically, the Pentax K10D that I've been looking at for what feels like forever. The latest pictures in my Flickr gallery were taken with it, and I think I'm going to get a lot of good use out of it.
Flight's boarding. We'll discuss this further in Salt Lake City.
