Yesterday, I took my first flight in over a year. It wasn’t what I expected. The airport was busy and gate areas crowded and full.

Wearing a mask aboard the flight was a little uncomfortable, but manageable. Everyone was well-behaved, wore their masks, except two or three of the usual white guys who think the rules don’t apply to them. Funny how you can always pick them out of a crowd – they give off this “I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks…” vibe. One guy close to me had to be reminded 3-4 times by the patient flight attendants.

But all in all it was worth it. See reason above.
