No planes

No planes are flying. I live near an airport and under a high level flight path where the planes do a slow and beautiful curve to the right and then follow the coastline south. No planes today so the news ids full of crowded concourses and kids with their passport in a plastic bag.
Further away, there are planes flying over Tyre, Sidon, Baalbek and Beirut. Blink and we've been moved on.
