This evening we had a little real world DRAMA here.  Husbandman took the shuttle to the airport.  He's heading to Oberwolfach in DEUTSCHLAND.  Hours later I got a text from him that said, "Never seen the airport."
"What does that mean?" I texted back.
A little later, Judy (who was with me) said, "I'm getting a little nervous about that text."
"I know.  It sounds like he's been kidnapped, which would be a huge DRAG to DEAL with tonight, not to mention DEVASTATING, but I'm remembering now that he always says he's never seen the airport so empty whenever we go to the airport, so that's probably what this is all about."
Sure enough, I got a text 30 seconds later that read, "Sorry.  I forgot to add 'this empty.'"
So Husbandman's predictability became a virtue in the end.  His text was not a cryptic plea for help after all.
