All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

Two hours to Bristol from campus. Another two and a half hours from the exit to parking (chartered buses). And yes, lines to get through the gates were unreal. Walked through metal detectors that were active but nobody checked anything. They could probably have some improvement opportunities next go around.

Got back to Knoxville pretty quick though. Nothing like collapsing in bed around 3:30.

I must have a face only a mother could trust. I was frisked, X-rayed, scanned, felt up, and propositioned before I got through. Had the same problem at two airports lately (Nashville and Pensacola).
