Somewhere over the middle of America. (VOE Illustration)

This is the second episode of Visions of the Unexcused that I've created on a plane. I use it as a means to quell my fears of flying while keeping myself busy, and I have to say, I think it works pretty damn well. Last time I tried this was en route to Puerto Rico, and now I find myself somewhere over the middle of America, on my way to Chicago to not just celebrate the birth of a Nation, but also the birth of a nephew.
The flight is fairly smooth aside from what appears to be an unfortunate curse of traveling that I've acquired. You see, I'm what I'd call an athletic 6'3'' tall, and am not exactly a tiny guy. For whatever reason, when I travel I always end up having a tiny 5'2'' Asian girl sit in front of me who has to make sure that her seat is pushed all the way back. Fully reclined. Meanwhile, I have my knees at my chin and am currently typing and editing at a literal 45 degree angle. She's able to cross her legs with room to spare at least, thank God for that. Lesson of this rant, if you’re under 5’5’’ be aware who’s behind you and if you must recline, maybe meet half way, otherwise it’s just selfish.
Sigh, all that aside, I hope your fourth is a festive and safe one, see you soon.
