Alien Landing


I've just spent an intense week in DC — by Friday I was really ready to get back home to some familiar surroundings. Only problem was the pilot of my plane flew to the wrong airport.

As we were coming in for landing I looked out the window. Where was the Hudson River and the meandering Mohawk? Where was the New York State Capitol? Where were the rolling farms among the foothills of the Catskill and Adirondack mountains on the horizon ... why was everything flat?

Oh yeah, I moved to Buffalo.

I've lived in Buffalo only about 2-1/2 months now, and this was my first plane ride to my new home, so looking out the window caught me by surprise. I forgot it would look so different out there. I'll get used to it, right?
