“Absurd to characterize as absurd” seems to be an oxymoron or non sequitur, but I’m not an English professor so I really can’t comment definitively
. The days of curb to gate in less than five minutes, as satisfying and as desirable as they were, are long gone. Ever since 9/11 and the TSA’s incessant hunt for more than 3.0 ounces of liquid or peanut butter, curb to gate times have increased dramatically. I’m a bit of a chocoholic, I would gladly trade traipsing through the M&M store for dodging sludge any day of the week
. A fondness for something depressing … not sure what to make of that sentiment

Serious question, if you were king of the hill and could wave a magic wand, would you bring back the old LGA airport instead of the new LGA airport? I would not. It’s hard to imagine anyone who would … other than the contractors who were paid to install the tarps and hoses.
