Two major advantages...

...that Raleigh-Durham has over New York City.

• Barbecue. (Enough said.)
• Working, strong WiFi signals in the terminals at the Raleigh-Durham International (sic) Airport

Yep, I'm in Terminal A, waiting to board my flight back to LaGuardia. Blogging and IMing with my wife, and actually listening to a podcast at the same time. God, I'm such a geek.

Another cool but slightly goofy thing they do here: Airport police officers, armed to the teeth, zooming around the concourse on souped-up Segways.

As Carrie observes, it could be much goofier. They could be riding one of these.
