The Unwanted Travel Companion
February 27, 2006 on 9:44 pm | In Main |Today’s post hails from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I will be attending a day and a half meeting here.
I had an interesting problem going through airport security. I was trying to stow the telescoping handle on my suitcase, when I noticed a scorpion in the cavity where the handle is stored. I used my boarding pass to flick the scorpion out of the cavity. It landed on the outside of the suitcase. I was going to squash it with my shoe, when I realized my shoes had already gone into the scanner. As this was a highly poisonous scorpion, I asked the security guard what to do. He grabbed one of the bowls used for pocket items and scooped up the scorpion.
I guess this was a bit of excitement for the security guard. He was showing it to all of the other guards. I liked the comment that the scorpion did not have a boarding pass.
I left just after dinner today. I took Sean to gym class, since I will not be able to go tomorrow. Sean and Ethan were both a bit wild when I left, so I’m worried Cortney will have her hands full while I’m gone.
