they scanned me, and called Laszlo in New York that I will be home again soon…
Home Again… we said a heartfelt good by with Marja-Leeena and then we checked in with the airline. I could not be happier with the news that Agyag’s fee was only 75 Euro(!) . So I showed Agyag’s receipt from New York. I got a big apology and an even bigger refund for the gross over charge at JFK on the way here. I just love Finnair, I think, they just got a committed new customer. Before boarding, I kept asking one of the flight attendants wether the dog was on the plane yet. She was not too enthusiastic about my persistent inquiry, but finally she called the ground crew. She also asked me what kind of a dog I had. The magic word, “PUMI” finally brought a smile on her face and she told me that one of her colleagues also has a Pumi. “You mean Helena Matilla?” I asked… She said, “yes.” What a small planet to fly the friendly skies…
“Are you ready?” I asked her, “are you ready?” she asked me…
Agyag plans to sign up with FinAir as a sniff sniff dog (we might fly free next year…?)
The plane could not leave for an additional forty minutes. So while we were sitting on the ground, I decoded the airplane charmers’ hand signals on the tarmac watching them through the window.
the airplane charmers code to move those big mechanical beasts on the ground. It is all brain power and focus…
The flight was smooth and dry. It reminded me somewhat the prohibition era. (It took lots of button pushing to get a few glasses of wine out of the flight attendants. )

Finally we landed, and we were home again. While I was enjoying the NYC sunshine in the traffic jam trying to get out of the City en route upstate, the furious periodic mini snow storms in the Catskills made me question the existence of Spring.
New Draconian measures in NYC to collect unpaid traffic tickects. Vialators are burried up to their head in the medians to inhale exhaust fumes so reduce pullution. Look at the heads, it turns out that blond types do not pay their traffic tickets more often than others…

I hope it will come in the next few days. I am ready…
