Strange Universal Energies
I had a somewhat weird flight back to Calgary on Monday. The first strange thing was that it left Kitchener-Waterloo international airport for a direct flight to Calgary. K-W has truly hit the big time - and it was chock full of travelling folks too. As we were coasting down the runway, I looked out the window to see a black cat leaping for its life towards a neighbouring farm. Black cat? Hmmm. But off we went.
About a third of the way in to the flight, I looked out the window again. This time I saw another Westjet plane travelling suspiciously close to our own on a parallel course, but definitely getting closer. Now I have travelled a lot, but I had never seen this in mid-flight before. Although it was a bit lower than us, it was CLOSE - it actually went completely below us and then popped out again and went north. I was so concerned, I actually called over the flight attendant, who had a pithy, "The boys up front know what they're doing," for me. At that point, another plane, even closer than the first, zoomed past us in the opposite direction. I became dubious the boys knew what they were doing. I think they may have had it on auto-pilot and were taking a quick nap.
So then I thought I would try and relax with some satellite TV. Started out happily watching and then the screen went blank. No TV. Everyone else had TV. Why not me? Then it blinked back on. The remainder of the flight it continued to blink on and off, and generally annoy me. But this makes some sense. I do have a strange electrical energy. Some of my friends won't let me near their computers because of this strange blinking ability. Might be because our house was hit by lightning when I was young. Might be because I am naturally spiritually gifted.
Might be because the black cat walked across our plane's path.
