"tempers flare" - I am hypervigilant and get out of the vicinity too. Volatile people lose control so quickly.

Indeed, they do, Caren, so I always try to find a quiet place to myself where I can jot verses into my I-phone. Thanks for the read.

That is exactly what happens when there are delays. Once our plane was having engine trouble and one young man wanted the plane to still fly. Excellent senryu. love phyl

Thanks for your comment, Phyl. I'm absolutely no pilot will take up a passenger-laden aircraft if he knows there is engine trouble. That young man must have been nuts!

You know I saw my only bullfight (first and last) in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was the most horrible thing I think I've ever seen...well, there IS one other really horrible thing, but I can't talk about it. Thanks for the read, G.W.
