Have Mask, Will Travel

Dorcas & I travelled from Lima to Miami on Monday. Our flight was delayed 6 hours due to a pea-soup-thick fog that covered the Peruvian capital. When we finally boarded our American Airlines flight, about half of the passengers put on surgical-style masks in order to ward off the swine flu. Everyone got uncomfortable anytime that anyone coughed or sneezed. Doctors & nurses greeted us when we arrived in Miami, & they took a close look @ anyone who looked a little under the weather. It was all a bit Twilight Zone-ish.
