Surely not the only good thing.

Into the distance, a ribbon of black...

Idk. I like being able to travel across the country in half a day as opposed to having to drive all the way and deal with traffic and gas etc.

Looking down on clouds is a pretty surreal experience

I once went on a backpacking trip, our itinerary had us camping near the top of a mountain, just a little shy of 12,000ft and we knew there would be no potable water at the top, so we had our hot meal for the day at lunch since freeze dried backpacking food needs water, so we could refill and get through the next day.

As we're making our way up the mountain, a thick fog rolls in. By the time we get to camp, we're all pretty miserable, we're tired and starting to feel the altitude a little, everything is cold and damp, we have a dinner of jerky and trail mix and such, we set up our tents and go the fuck to sleep.

The next day we wake up, the fog has gone, and it's a beautiful day. We make our way to the top of the mountain and look down at the valley below and we see a cloud.

It then dawned on us that the fog the night before wasn't just fog, it was a cloud we hiked through and set up camp in.

The next time a mattress salesman tries to give you the "it's like sleeping on a cloud" line, fucking run, clouds suck.

As my flight instructor always told me, "Eyes outside!" Which was more for traffic avoidance, but...

"I love the smell of a good bombing run."

(I misunderstood the picture on first glance.)
