The return trip has already had one adventure, which I never like. I like boring trips best. After checking in at zero o’clock and using the double quick security line, the teeessay guy said my eyedee and the airline info for me didn’t match. Present at the booth was a new machine I haven’t seen before. I had to go back to the counter and get an agent to update my information. Crazy. I fly pretty often and I’ve not had this one before. At least I was able to return past all the lines and get cleared.
It occurred to me during this annoyance that there are people who don’t want anyone to be eyedeed before they VOTE.
Meanwhile I’m optimistic that my headphones are packed in my checked bag.

UPDATE
One advantage to a really early morning flight is that you often get to your (domestic) destination with some productive daylight remaining.
I hope the crew isn’t as gabby as last flight. The announcements were incessant. Not that it makes a lot of difference on this B712 rattle trap. I thought the last one was going to shed parts as we taxied. There’s no “in seat” entertainment to interrupt.
UPDATE
They have gotten us back and forth from the gate three times. First to check “fluids”. Then to check fuel. Then they didn’t have the numbers of the amount so we had to go back. Then we had to wait for water.
I am not kidding. This has been a clown car, lacking only the oogq-horn.
We are over two hours late and we just started to taxi… again.
