    To be clear, we’ve been reluctant to connect through America for a while. It’s just too much hassle and risk of getting a TSA droid on a bad day and missing a flight because of some guy’s ego. So we often go around.

    I watched the second tower fall with my own eyes. I was so ground-zero in the weeks following that I get PTSD from the nuts4nuts carts. I suffered troopies on the MTA platforms, thankful I profiled ‘harmless’.

    But America has been Too Much for about a decade. If I was going to Atlanta or Queens, okay. I’m not even connecting through LA, though, otherwise; and never, now. And YYZ burns brain cells, but that’s where we are.
