====================
 ML> Took an hour and change on the interstate to get back to AVP
 GJ> Was that one of the much maligned interstate buses?

It was not, as you might have noted had you read the first
part of the post. Not that I didn't try - I would have
happily spared my friend the effort had there actually been
a public bus. You will realize, of course, that though the
road was the interstate, the journey was not.

 ML> There was a 3-person line at security. Nobody seemed fazed

 GJ> They shouldn't be fazed, if the snags were dead and sterile.

Also irrelevant. As I was not crossing international borders
nor going into or out of Hawaii or California, the potential
pathogens in the sausages were not in question: it's rather
that the density of such things as meat products and Christmas
pudding has been known to approximate that of various
explosive materials.
 
 ML> terminal (this flight being on a rather small De Havilland

As I said, similar to the one that crashed, only much older.

 The latter company has been expanding considerably of

The Boston subway bought some Bombardier railway cars in
the mid '70s, so the company must have been in the business
for close on 40 years.

 GJ> Have you heard about the problem with Boeing 737 altimeters, telling

There's that problem with all altimeters that are pressure based.
It would make more sense to shoot a signal to the ground and
measure the reflection.
