 2 very different dudes walking stride and stride down the terminal.  1 just arrived from an 18 hour flight from Tokyo wearing slacks.  1 just arrived from a 45 minute flight from Medford, Oregon wearing jeans.  at that specific moment, they are walking stride for stride, arriving at different gates, but both desperately seeking baggage claim.  however, for that specific moment.......they are equal.

 

perhaps i'm spending too much time in airports, but the next time you, or others you know are at an airport, arrive reallllly early.  look around.  snap pictures.  you'll see some interesting shit.
