Then the plane departed 
For several years now the eyes of the world have been turned to the South. Watching the turbulence around a former president. Waiting for something to happen. So many times I’ve heard the statement but will anything ever really happen? Unlike reality TV this all plays out in very slow motion. A sloth by any other name. Even the news that there have been huge financial injunctions against the man and his companies does not really mean very much. This is all invisible money too much for any of us to count. However sometimes we have little incidents that do make you go; «oh really!». Yesterday the sheriff and his deputies arrived at a small airport in southern Florida. And they flew away on a Boeing 757 that belonged at least in common jargon to that former president. A seizure against a huge debt. Like everything else it will take time but I’m left to wonder. When you no longer have a private airplane and you refuse to fly coach does that mean that you stay home. No more heading off to a quick rally in some place that I would have to use the map to find. Even more, the chance of flight in the sense of getting away from us all to another country has just dropped dramatically. Maybe there will be a moment of accounting. I may have to wait for the movie version which is still some years away but the script is being written line by line Somehow I doubt that he has a backup plan. Just like the rest of us. If anyone ever shows up and tries to seize my personal airplane I will laugh and laugh. From the news stories that was not his reaction.
