 There was an idea some one had related to me about airport luggage conveyors, their theory was that the airlines sent out decoy bags to appease passengers eagerly waiting for their bag to appear. It actually made sense and was one of those tidbits that sit in the back of your mind unmindfully growing strength. So it had positioned itself as fact by the time we took a trip to Scotland in 2015. We had landed in Glasgow and made our way to the luggage carousel, the idea weaseled it’s way to the front of my mind and I found myself being interested in the airports creativity. It is funny how your mind works, I waited for the first bag to appear. There it was. My first thought was, these guys are pretty clever, they’ve sent out a generic looking bag, one anyone would use. It moved on closer, I thought very good boys, same shape and color as my own. Only a few feet from where I stood my mind was blown, these guys had actually attached a tassel exactly like the one Deanie had made so I could identify my bag easier. That idea I had been told years before was so imbedded in my mind it didn’t dawn on me it was my bag until I saw my name on the tag. I learned a couple things that day. I have a mind that could be pretty easily brainwashed and... there aren’t any decoy bags.

Three for three
