i was driving past the airport today and i saw a plane taking off. except i wasn't really looking at the plane. i was distracted by the insanely large amount of brown haze trailing behind the plane. i wonder how many cars worth of smog every plane produces at takeoff. maybe a better measure would be how many la la landians cough up a piece of lung for each departure.
so of course, i thought about that whole thing for a while, and after i ran some errands i went to in-n-out for a 3x3 protein and stuck around for about an hour watching the planes land. i love it when the 747's come in. the rumble coming out of those engines could strip the paint off your car. especially at the proximity i was at. i swear to god i could have gotten on top of one of the tables, jumped, and grabbed onto the wing of a passing airbus.
but after living by the airport for so long, i never notice that awe-inducing tremor anymore. i've been so desensitized to it. hmm... i feel a cheesy truth-revealing metaphor coming up, so i'll stop now.
