Airport bars

While reflecting on the sad nature of airport bars, where the impersonal meets the $8 beer and joins the interminable wait for a flight, a silver lining: it's a place where no one expects anything of anyone else.

Sure..  The TSA has expectations. And the bartender expects to get paid. But these people around here? They are only here for the moment. No harm, no foul, just do your thing, whoever, and move on.
