We flew out of the old and back into the new. Upon arriving into the new KCI, my wife and I had the audacity to look skyward (or anywhere for that matter) for a sign that said "Baggage Claim" and guess what? There wasn't any. As much as people don't want to check bags they still have to from time to time. How in the hell did the masterminds of this new facility miss this? I'll also take an even money bet that the restaurants that are there today will be closed within 18 months. People don't come to Kansas City to get to somewhere else. If you are leaving KC, you don't go to the airport 3 hours early so you can eat. On the other hand, if you fly to KC you don't hang around the airport and eat there when there is a city full of great restaurants. People eat in restaurants at airports because they are being held captive waiting for their next flight.

I don't think there are only two choices here: "strong, silent" vs "weak, loud." You could be "strong, loud."

I'm just happy you're not "weak, silent!"

I'm glad I'm too white trash to fly. 😀 that new airport sounds like the ninth circle of hell.

I'm dreading my first trip out of the new KCI. On the other hand, it'll probably give me something to write about.

I have those same start an idea for five paragraphs then give up files. I’m awesome for a half-page. You bring it day in/day out WITH cartoons. No complaints here.

Thanks. I generally do one of three things: Post cartoons and write about them, write an essay on a single topic or just tell a story. Don't know if I'll keep it up, but this seemed like a way to throw in all the bits and pieces that don't fit the first three.

We'll see.

One good complaint deserves another....I tried to read the article you linked to and got a bunch of BS about adblockers! Oh, well, we would (probably) never fly to KC, let alone eat at a restaurant in the airport. Love all the comments!
