The busiest days for air travel will soon be upon us. If you’re looking to get bumped off a flight, the weeks around Thanksgiving were made for you.  More humans fly in the month of November than all the other months of the year put together.  I made that up.  But I bet it’s not far from the truth.

It’s dangerous enough flying South for the winter.  Why would I choose to fly when there’s ten times the normal amount of planes in the air?  It might not actually be ten times the amount.  I made that number up.  But I bet it’s close. My point is I don’t have a suicide wish.

Pigeons don’t fly that much to begin with so a lot of us just stay put.  Better to be a little cold here in Boston than tired and lost over The Carolinas, am I right.  I DO make the trek each year.  I like the exercise.  But it’s not like I have to arrive in Florida by a certain day.  If I get to Jacksonville a few weeks late, so what?  Are the pigeon police gonna write me a ticket and send me back north?  Not likely.  Let ‘em try.

I’m gonna still fly South for the winter.  I’m just leaving a little later this year to avoid the traffic.
