December 3, 2023, Sunday afternoon, 1:03pm, pacific standard time, LAX, Los Angeles, California, USA. At gate 135, terminal 3? B? Waiting to board the 2:20pm flight to Atlanta. I decided to fly out of LAX because there would be more options than Orange County or Long Beach. Not sure it really matters. Thats alright, the drive wasn’t bad and getting through security was easy. The walk to the gate was long. Now I am playing Spelling Queen, eating Smartfood White Cheddar popcorn and peanut m&m’s while waiting to board in 35 minutes.
