Letters from Jen: San Jose "International" Airport

Dear SJIA,

Thanks for the free WiFi. SeaTac could learn a thing or two from you in that area. But having to take a shuttle bus between terminals which are within easy walking distance (a city block?) of one another, then going through security a second time and having to chug yet another bottle of water at the last minute (because I already freakin' went through security), all while avoiding copious amounts of construction debris, is FAIL. This is the home airport for Silicon Valley for Chrissakes--get out of the ghetto. I can see that you are trying to grow up into a big & strong airport, so this is simply a reminder that you should keep working on those improvements. Good luck becoming a 20th century facility. I look forward to whoring you out for free WiFi on my way back from Austin next week.

Love,
Jen

New series: Letters from Jen

I am starting a new feature on this blog: letters from me to various individuals and entities based on my experiences in the world.

Dear Seattle,

Learn how to deal with the snow. Use some of my tax dollars to buy a snow plow--I know you have cash lying around for the failed mass transit projects you've tried to make happen for the last few years. Or even some sand. Or salt. The Sound is made of salt, you know, and even though we don't get much sun I'm sure we can create a little "sea salt" over the short summer.

Love,
Jen
