  1. I had a fun experience flying home from Langley last
    weekend. For a little background on my story, I talked
    myself into buying a new uni when I was there. When I went
    to check my bag and uni, 3 of the WestJet girls came and
    kind of stared for a few seconds at my uni sitting in front
    of me while I wait for my ticket and all that other airport
    business. after 10 seconds or so, one suggests that they
    don't give me my ticket until I ride it for them. So I was
    more than happy to oblige. It's fun riding through an
    airport with a bunch of people sitting around. Everybody was
    watching. When I arrived in Calgary, they brought my uni out
    to the area where they have the fragile/sports
    equipment/inadequately packed items. The guy that brought it
    out was probably 60 years old and looked it. When I walked
    over to pick it up, he asks if it's mine, and when I answer
    "yes", he looks at me and states, "If you think I'm
    impressed, you're right, I am". I smiled at him, picked it
    up, hopped on, and rode over to the carousel to pick up my
    bag. He stood and watched until I was out of sight. I think
    I made his day. It's a lot of fun making people's day. I
    think I'm gonna make an effort to do that more often.

  3. Were you at Langley AFB, in Hampton, Virginia? That's where
    I lived until I was 5 (10+ years before unicycling). The
    base was practically in our back yard. My dad worked there,
    for NASA, when they were shooting for the moon.
