In the Waiting Room

My luggage did come on the next flight as advertised. I'm also waking up a little, as it's now daytime back in Japan. Plus I was spending time outside to get some sunlight. And some fresh air. Okinawans don't use very much air conditioning, and I work outside a lot, so the airport's climate control is making me downright chilled.

The USO has a very nice place attached to the airport; no surprise, as there are very large Marine and Navy installations nearby. The USO has a shuttle bus that runs to Pendleton, which is how I'm going to get there. I missed the 1700 run, and the next trip is at 1930, so I'm killing time with the internet and stuff.

They also have a book exchange rack, so I left behind "Magic Lost, Trouble Found", by Lisa Sherarin. It's a fantasy pretty far along to the "romance" side, but it wasn't terrible. I can't really recommend it though, unless you're bored on a long plane ride. Also, I want to smack the book's designer, for choosing a hideously inappropriate typeface for the chapter titles. The first line of every new chapter is also set in italics, which is visually confusing. So in all fairness, I might be taking that out on the author, who surely is blameless as to the layout.
