A little airport ode

Dear Perth Airport,
I have oft ragged on you before, but I must say, my recent trip through the international terminal was surprisingly decent. Since the not-so-great renovation of early ’09, the food sucks less, and the couches (couches!) and showers (showers!) are a nice touch.
Don’t get me wrong, you’re still lame. Copying Sydney’s oh-look-now-I’m-in-duty-free thing is annoying, the lack of facilities for connecting flights saddens me, and public transport, *ahem*.
But my expectations were pretty low, and they were exceeded! (… a little bit)
Sincerely,
a weary traveller.
Hey Hourann,
I just read about the californian earthquakes. I hope you are alright.
The quake you read about was way out in Eureka, i.e. not anywhere near me
(The rumbles that came beforehand and were near me were too small to notice.)

I logged onto Hourann.com this morning expecting a barrage of posts. A lot of things have happened recently which seem worthy of a Hourann-alysis:
– The worst storm in 50 years hits Perth.
– Obama’s Health Care Reform Bill is passed.
– Virgin Galactic complete their first successful test flight.
Hook a brother up.
