I reek of England and Calvinism. And some cleanup: “It’s like… someone invites you to a party, and you don’t show up, doesn’t really matter.” Was from _Rambo, First Blood Part II_. iamatractorboy guessed _First Blood_, so he got the actor & franchise right. ---

I hope to have a couple days to travel around and see how much the area has changed. Well, it’s April, and here I am. I remembered this thread, and the awning I was trying to desribe is still there.

And it’s not just an awning. That same shape extends across the ceiling and all the way to the other side of the building. Here’s the view from my plane taxiing to the gate.
