Once a tragedy like this happens in your family you lose the ability to feel completely safe ever. I hasn't changed the modes of travel my family I and use. But I cannot get on the highway or on a plane (or let a family member do so) without a deep twinge of "Please....PLEASE make it back alive"<br /><br />But you have to take a deep breath and keep going...or decide to live in a box.sunflowerkat https://www.blogger.com/profile/11643564072168293568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-29589739562265041822011-06-02T00:27:04.386-04:002011-06-02T00:27:04.386-04:00Oh man, I do not feel safe when I fly.

Even in cars... because I can't help reminding myself exactly what they are: metal boxes that we trust to transfer us from one place to the other.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321903397858073274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-33666902865974703462011-06-01T23:56:13.525-04:002011-06-01T23:56:13.525-04:00Do you feel safe when you fly?

I always like taking off, it's like a roller coaster (I always liked those, too). I do try to avoid flying now, though. The airport security routine is barely tolerable, and I doubt its value.<br /><br />I drove from Columbus, Ohio to Myrtle Beach, S.C. for the annual golf debacle this year. It was nice to bring all my junk and not have this '4 oz. bottle' in a single baggy restriction.<br /><br />How many terrorists have been stopped by this? How many ever will? It's nonsense.<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-29251383418969880162011-06-01T18:11:29.962-04:002011-06-01T18:11:29.962-04:00For the want of a nail as the saying goes.

I do get nervous before a flight as I know my safety is not in my own hands, but once I'm sat down I just let go. I have no other choice really and the ground looks so wonderful from the air :)Imaginographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484956864270183017noreply@blogger.com
