santa fe style # 2

I dropped off Alice in the cool light of dawn for a flight to Denver - the first time I'd ever been inside Santa Fe airport, with its one check in counter, its one security checkpoint (and about eight flights in, eight flights out a day).  The last time that I was in an airport this small, I think, was in the Amazon jungle.  I couldn't decide whether this notice was sweet - certainly local style - or, in its way, terrifying. Happily she arrived safely, though I saw the size of the plane for the 8.30 flight to LA - I'll continue to drive to Albuquerque, thank you very much, or even 850 miles across the Mojave desert ...
