Summary
Crank up the tunes during turbulence. The right to narrative continuity. The AmEx lounge—a glimmer in the desert. Two jousters with veiled competitive jovial hostility. Ordering hungry, paddling feet in ecstacy upon arrival. Fear observed, performing the self for others. Allergen extravaganza of opacity. As always, all information is sacred and interesting. Depersonalized service.
