September 21, 2017. San Antonio, Texas. Strange Looking People.

Our layover in Newark was long.  Usually we find a lounge and read but yesterday we stayed at the gate while we watched.  I was fascinated at the people.

One young man wearing jeans and a T shirt was standing waiting to get on a plane.  Hw was standing at a corner of a wall, which came out from a restaurant.  He was leaning on the sharp corner rubbing his back.  He was standing about a foot away from the wall.   he moved up and down on the sharp corner just as an animal would to rub their back.   After 10 minutes, he changed to stretch his arms and shoulders.  It was quite a routine.

A young lady walked quickly along the walk way.  She was about 20.  Her clothing was unusual for an airport.  She was wearing a skin tight dress from her neck to her ankles.  She looked like a hooker. I suspect that she had a light sweater in her bag but when she was hot, she was wearing this incredibly tight dress.  Amazing to see.

Everyone uses rolling bags.  I saw only one man carrying a bag by hand.  Everyone getting off a plane looks dazed.  And most people at airports are anxious.  No one looks happy, except for the young children who are delighted and excited.  The young children are still excited about flying.  But not the adults. Everyone yesterday was wearing black.

I was waiting in Newark, NJ. which is an international area but there were many many Asians, Indians and Hispanics in the airport.  And lots of children even though school was in session.  Are all these children being home schooled?  I enjoyed watching the moving people coming and going.  Everyone has a story.
