I'm on a trip for work, when I usually do more blogging. It's
probably because I'm not with my wife, so I don't have a way to
immediately explain what's on my mind.

I think for the same reason, summer flights are noisier than flights
the rest of the year. I suspect it's because it's because groups —
probably families — seem to be traveling together more. There are
definitely more kinds flying this time of year. The kids usually seem
to be with older folks that resemble them (probably parents).

I like that families are traveling together and going on trips. As a
proportion of income, airline flights are cheaper than they were when
I was a kid. (So I've heard.) We didn't fly on travel when I was
growing up.
