I picked up my cousin Alexandra at the ABQ International* Sunport** the other evening. She was scheduled to arrive at 9:50 PM; she did not arrive until after midnight.
Now, there are some places in America where I could reasonably entertain myself from 10-midnight.
Albuquerque is not one of those places.
So I parked at the airport and curled up in my backseat, hoping to take a nap. (I could not.)
I found this on the floor behind the driver's seat. A few days earlier, I had bought candy at the store to put in the Christmas stockings of my parents and coworkers, and this was one of them, which I obviously had failed to remove from my car.
It was okay. Not bad by any means, but it did not taste of Twinkie. (Although I have not had a Twinkie in well over a decade, unless you count the battered-and-fried Twinkies they used to sell at Walmart and were actually fucking fantastic when heated in the air-fryer and dusted with powdered sugar.)
But it did give me a nice sugar rush, which was something. I guess.
*The airport sunport has customs and borders facilities for international cargo flights, so it is considered an international airport... because it can accept diverted international flights if necessary. Even though it doesn't actually offer any commercial international flights at the moment, they theoretically could start doing so. This amuses me. They don't offer international flights, but they could if they wanted to, so it's considered an international airport.
**They call it a sunport because Albuquerque has about 300 sunny days per year, so someone thought it would be cute to call the airport a "sunport." I suppose that's better than a grandtheftautoport or methheadport... but it's still really stupid.
