Above The Clouds …

‘The Departure Lounge’ *

With my head in the clouds ⛅️ . . .

and my dragon caged in the cargo hold ✈️
it’s time for some in-flight entertainment

‘La PSYOP Coloniale’… the Opera! 🤔🕶❓️

“Prenez ça 💥 toi impérialiste laquais!”

‘FINI’ . . . “Bravo!” 👏😎

Lunchtime . . . 

and back to sweet reality 😎

Then, sadly, some earthbound insanity 🛵

  1. All journeys voluntarily undertaken with open mind are right and good especially since you are going to end up where you started; with more bells on.
    It is just forcible displacements because someone thought your eyes are the wrong colour which makes everyone blind and sucks the life out of dragons.
    Congrats as always to Multiple Michael, too. He does not need, it seems, to travel to be superlatively belled and streaming rainbows. Sunbows.

    1. “Distance from dystopia 🔄
      makes the heart grow fonder ❤️
      Whereas the closer you get
      the voices become louder
      . . . and shriller.” 🙉

      A hypersonic thank you, Sarah 🌈🙏
      Yes, there’s no joy on the road
      carrying hatred’s heavy load.
      No peace there to be found
      unless you lay it all down ☮️ ✌️😎

    1. My scoot-tooting pleasure, Art 😎
      The previous day a scooter rider
      pulled out of a driveway right
      infront of us with a cigarette in
      one hand 🚬 and his phone 📱
      in the other 🫲 ‼️ The day prior
      I was enjoying a coconut coffee ☕️
      when two scooters collided. One
      rider had to be taken to hospital 🏥
      (surprisingly, It was a local … not
      a tourist 🤔🕶).

    1. Aboard a modern jet airliner ✈️ 🤔🕶
      the height might be right, but the
      width of the seat 💺 is just so petite,
      with legroom brief and lacking depth.
      Particularly flying economy, as sadly,
      I have little to no wealth 😢🕶
      That’s my perspective, Shelley 😎

  13. Seeing those flight attendants made me think back to early in my career… I’d fly with this older married guy and it was a different era… as a young dude just out of college, I’d chat up the stews and more often than not, get a phone #… older guy shook his head, combination what th’…? and cool! 😎😂 Great post but that “Rosemary’s baby” kid IS pretty creepy, lol

    1. Thanks Darryl 🙏
      You’ve reminded me of the time I got
      lucky flying easyJet. There was a four
      hour delay waiting for a spare part to be
      flown in from Glasgow, so they gave me
      €400 as per company policy 💰 😎
      But then, there was the time I flew ✈️
      British Airways to Mexico . . . 🤔🕶
