I recently had to be in the U.K. for work, and one of the most interesting ways to get there is on Singapore Airlines’ flight between Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), my home airport, and Manchester Airport (MAN) in England.

Remember those label makers in high school? I was so all about them. My label maker had a giant dial and you’d twist it around the alphabet and click on each letter and it would imprint the letter onto the label.
