The Biggest Strip Mall Around

The flight to Texas left really early, but there was still enough light out that I could see the turboprop's movement against the background of the runway, as well as feel it. It makes sense, of course, that the smaller the plane, the less mass it has, and therefore the less inertia it has.
So the wind can blow it around easier.
Much easier.
The experience of being inside a machine that is literally slewing around in thin air is as unnerving as it is exciting. Wait, wait,

Alright, sorry. That was Barney. He just leapt from a rather uncomfortable perch on the back of the couch to my lap. I figured he wanted to add something, but judging by what he typed, the thought was not well developed. Back to the plane.
It wasn't bad. It was, however, cramped and tedious. Apparently, small planes are enough like cars in that the motion sickness they engender in me prohibits reading of any sort.
It was a very long trip. I am, in fact, so very exhausted that i must go lay down. More ater.
