A post about airport depression without a single reference to Douglas Adams? Welcome to 2018, I guess.

    I thought of this quote while reading the article: It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the expression "As pretty as an airport." Airports are ugly. Some are very ugly. Some attain a degree of ugliness that can only be the result of a special effort. This ugliness arises because airports are full of people who are tired, cross, and have just discovered that their luggage has landed in Murmansk (Murmansk airport is the only exception of this otherwise infallible rule), and architects have on the whole tried to reflect this in their designs.

  Make a helpful comment by giving at least one reference to Douglas Adams to address the absence you're talking about (as your child posters have done)
