I have returned from Da Big Windy Apple of Brotherly Love

I got back from NYC very late today and had a crazier time than normal because people on my flight had medical emergencies! This has never happened to me before in my entire life.

I got to see the crew call for doctors/paramedics - and later for someone with an EpiPen to spare. Everything seems to have turned out OK, which is a relief. I did see the crew literally sprinting around the cabin though... big thumbs up to flight attendants... they have very serious training... they are your airborne emergency response team...

While I was in the air I also got to see the results of the Brazilian presidential election. Brazil managed to pull off a turnaround for Lula, despite a crazy amount of election interference (including from US social media). Excited to read more coherent English coverage of the campaign, because the US left definitely has a lot to learn from the get out the vote campaign they pulled off. I wish the Bolsonaros a very happy eat shit and die. Maybe things can actually be good!! Wow!!
