Planes and Cabs

I had my usual 7:10am flight to Boise this morning. Yay me, I slept until 4:30am before waking up and feeling those pre-am-airport jitters start up in my stomach (alarm was set for 5am). Previously, the jitters began at like 2am. A whole 2.5 extra hours of sleep is doing wonders to make my day in Boise easier. Glad I'm getting used to this.

I took a cab to the airport this morning because one of our cars is in the shop. The Green Taxi picked me up. This was NOT the Executive Limousine service. Before I even get into the cab, I detected the faint odor of cigarettes. The inside door handle was loose as I closed the door. The seats had the appropriate amount of comfortable sag. The driver was a balding guy with a body that looked like it had not seen running shoes or the inside of a gym for far too long. As we headed to the airport, the car bounced along, inducing simultaneous feelings of terror (oh my god, this car is about to fall apart!) and total comfort (this is totally what cabs are supposed to feel like). I'm looking forward to getting my car back.
