Crazy turbulence coming into Houston earlier

So, they couldn't fix the radiator in our forklift at work, and everyone says the replacement is 2 grand or more. A gently-used one was found in Dallas for $1,200 but at least we'll get the forklift running again, hopefully today.

Seriously, though, I'm no pussy, but other than being a couple of places where mentally-unstable people were discharging firearms, the most frightened I've ever been in my life was aboard airliners going through turbulence.

Clear-air turbulence is the worst. At least the pilot usually warns the passengers beforehand.

One time the plane just dropped, shit was hitting the ceiling, drink cart floated up - and then - KA-WHAMM! - it felt like the plane had slammed into the ground, but it had finally found the bottom of the down-draft and stabilized.

Statistically you're much safer in the sky than in a car, but turbulence is one thing I can NOT get used to.
