lost luggage

ok, so...i spent enough time at bluegrass field this evening in the baggage claim area as to count the number of left luggage bags cordoned off by red tape......47.....which means that there were a lot of problems industry-wide with regards to flights/connections....i watched a plane load of folks grab up their bags from a flight originating in cincinnati....and saw over a dozen bags left on the carousel when the crowd dispersed.....so....where were those folks?.....stuck in some distant tarmac hoping for the best?.....i also saw many folks unprepared for the frigid lexington temps......folks getting off the plane from atlanta in flip-flops and short sleeves.....don't they check weather.com?.......i also saw a cadre of folks from a local horse farm picking up a group from...ireland?....by the sound of them......and each had on barn jackets with names like galway girl, or scat daddy emblazoned on the back......or world games johannesburg....and they were all very small spare folks......which made sense in thinking about folks who ride expensive horses......and i suppose if i owned an expensive horse i would name it scat daddy........
