Art in Airports, and a rubber jungle

Just got home from a short Nashville overnight. I love art in airports--you see so many talented artists' work in so many places! I was really struck by these quilts from the Zuri Quilting Guild:I love the colours, the vibrancy and the stories they tell.Can you imagine how many stitches and how many tiny pieces of cloth it took to make this? It's truly a work of art!This one is my absolute favourite-Look at the detail. Can you imagine having the talent to create something this special?Of course, a trip is never complete without a little excitement. These would be the oxygen masks that fall from the ceiling when there is a sudden, unexpected loss of cabin pressure. We fondly call it the "rubber jungle."Pull down sharply to start the flow of oxygen. Or, place the masks over your ears before helping others with their masks.Note to self: Do not allow the First Officer to touch anything, ever again!

Have a happy Memorial Day, and please keep those who have sacrificed and served this country close at heart. That's why we are BBQing and drinking beer and enjoying an extra day off--because we can, because we live here in the United States, because someone protected your right to do so.
