Hot Cranky People

Airport signage:

I think this will be the name of my second fictitious band: Dangerous Goods Kiosk. Perhaps they can open for Hot Cranky People.

Turns out I’m on the plane with the Blue Ridge Mountain Cloggers. They are a jovial group of 11-12 year olds and their families. They are jovial for a reason: They are returning from the AAU Junior Olympics, where they won three gold metals in clogging. Maybe I’m behind the times, but I was unaware that clogging was considered a sport these days. But what do I know? More power to you, kids. Clog on.

In poking around to find the links above, I came across this gem from the Des Moines Register.

Teen says eating corn not factor in crash

Apparently a 17 year old driver had a car accident. While eating an ear of corn.

“Police Officer Robert Cornwell thought the corn snacking was important enough to mention in his report. He wrote, “Witness said (Quach) was distracted because she was eating corn on the cob while driving.’”

Hee hee. “Corn snacking.”
