There's a dog park out by the airport that we've recently discovered. One side is a big swamp, the rest is fenced but one side isn't. Max gets to run around like on Marlys' farm and I get to watch the planes land and take off. I don't really like riding in planes (my ears get all fucked up, I hate the security, the seats are too small, the food sucks, and on and on...) but planes are beautiful to watch. Like birds, I just get so excited as they rise into the air, defying gravity, doing something I will never be able to do on my own. I know birds have this organic amazingness to them whereas planes are big modern tyrannts who rise despite their bulk but both are impressive to this landlubber.
