blathing_from_an_airport epitome of incomprehensibility Just to say I did. But saying this without noting how the gate was at the very end of the airport, how weary my arms got, and how I should have looked up more to notice the sky out of the wide windows turning from azure with a peachy sun-reflecting cloud to grey-black is like writing "first" in a comment section.

At least I can be on blather! 230626 ... raze are you in the air as we speak (or type)? i think this might count as a new achievement unlocked. AIRBORNE BLATHING. ✈ 230626 ... e_o_i raze, I just saw your blathe with the little airplane!
