Yes, Sins, it's important to pronounce the name of Portland International Jetport with reverence. Wehn I flew into that airport the first time, it certainly wasn't in a jet - it was in a Cessna with 18 strap seats.
Seems like a fitting departure point for somebody like Kendall Morse, dontchathink?

He'll be landing at what one of our newspaper columnists calls "Sacramento Intergalactic Airport." Our airport spent megabucks a few years ago, changing all the signs from "Sacramento Metropolitan Airport" to "Sacramento International." I think we have one flight to Mexico a day, hence the name "International." Big deal.
