Day 10: In Which There is a Stupid Amount of Wind

Day 0: In Which Alice Makes it Across International Borders
After I hugged you, I flung my bags at the security people and myself at TSA (my left leg is still full of Suspicion, even after I took the unexpected elephant out of it). I forgot that Logan has a whole lounge with a panorama of Walden Pond, but even so it still manages to…
