You can get away with a lot

Tuesday would be my final day with bunny_hugger this trip. We started comfortably late again, enjoying sleeping in as much as two basically nocturnal people who don't find it a stretch to be up till dawn will, and started out feeding the cats on some new plates which we'd picked up on a little yet necessary second trip to Target on Monday afternoon. Over the weekend we hadn't used enough plates to make even a modest dishwasher load, but we had maanged to use up all the appetizer plates which we use for the cats' wet food and come Tuesday we were facing the prospects of doing a wastefully empty dishwasher load, washing some plates by hand, or seeing open rebellion from the feline community. Washing by hand would probably have been easiest but we had to go to Target anyway and a couple fresh plates wouldn't hurt future cat relations.

( Tuesday was a short day, with just a few hours for us.  )

When I was finally convinced that she'd gotten safely off the ground I returned to Terminal A, and went to a Dunkin Donuts booth to buy a couple creme-filled doughnuts to eat while driving home, with ``Humoresque'' and other carousel tunes replaced by my audio book.

Trivia: The passenger terminal at the Ford Airport in Dearborn, Michigan --- which was possibly the first real passenger terminal in the United States --- was 52 feet square. Source: Naked Airport, Alastair Gordon.
