50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

please prepare the cabin for arrival

  • Travel

As I write this, I am 34,998 feet above the skin of the Earth, traveling East at 527 miles per hour. The captain just announced that we’re about to land, and I have about five minutes of Internet left before I have to buy more.

Looks like I picked a really bad time to write a 1500 word post about a bunch of cool and interesting stuff that’s happened since last Friday.

(In the time it took me to type out those words, we descended a little over two thousand feet. I’m not sure why I felt that was worth mentioning, but then again I’m not even sure why I’m going to be clicking publish in about ten seconds.)

    You’re a fast typer then. When I was flying, standard ops was 3000 ft/min descents giving you about 40 seconds for that 2k’ estimate.

    Safe travels. For a second there I got really excited about you traveling east, because I thought you might be going to Pensacon. Ahh well, maybe I will see you at another con.

    Astonishing, sometimes, the world (some of us) live in and the wonders we take for granted. 527 miles an hour at 35k feet and sitting comfortably: Just think about that for a second.
