Don't Fly Southwest

So I'm finally on a plane from Baltimore to Tampa. It was supposed to leave at 7:50. I left Johns Hopkins at 4:56 and was worried I wouldn't make it, but it only took about an hour. When I got to the airport the plane was already delayed until 8:00, so I had time to get some food. When I got to the gate they announced a mechanical which delayed it another 25 minutes. Now that we're on the plane they decided to wait another 20 minutes for another plane to land. We've already been on the plane 20 minutes and they just announced the other plane just landed. Now we'll have to wait for not only passengers, but luggage to be transferred.

To keep us occupied they had a contest to guess how much fuel will be burned on the flight. The answer was 1689 gals. I guessed 1829, so I don't feel too bad.OK, I've had enough fun now.

Let's get this plane a- rollin'.
