a deserted landscape

My guests arrived last night (actually early this morning).  They flew into Fort Wayne International Airport on a flight due in at 11:13pm which actually landed at 12:19am, so not too late.  Waiting at FWA was a quietly interesting experience.  A whole series of House Hunters shows were running on the large TVs. Everything, especially the restaurant and coffee shop were closed, people in uniforms and other work outfits were leaving in droves. A few bewildered travelers were waiting for their luggage. It was a very quiet place.  Since we had an hour to wait, my brother and I looked for comfortable seats (my other brother, not the one who was flying in).  The most comfortable looking chairs were in the little area marked USO.  Since there was no one anywhere around wearing any kind of uniform we risked sitting there.  My brother is a veteran so it wasn't too much of a risk.  Finally, finally their plane was on the ground.  We got all the hugging and kissing out of the way, found their luggage, not hard in our airport, and headed home.
The visit is off to a good start.
