The scary extreme occurred upon landing. The wheels went down, the flaps went down, and so did we! The landing at SL was hard; in fact, the roughest one I had ever experienced. One lady gave out an involuntary scream, and I also heard several gasps from other passengers. Finally, the 737 began to slow down, and I mentioned to Bev that our approach seemed to be a little faster than usual. She in turn, said that she was surprised that the left wheel didn't pop, when we hit the ground.
The funny extreme featured really humorous announcements over the intercom bay a very jolly steward. After the hard landing he said that he hoped we all enjoyed the landing. This comment brought a lot of laughter. Then after making some exit announcements, he said "Now get out of here."
The pre-flight announcements were great also. I can't remember them all, but he mentioned that cameras, recording devices including web cams were not allowed in the restroom. Any violators would be posted on U-TUBE.
During the oxygen demonstration, he said that if you are holding 2 kids, and only 2 masks came down, use one for yourself, then decide which kid you dislike the most, before using the second.
As we slowly taxed down the runway, he actually sang his version of "Rollin Down the River (runway)." He was really pretty good.
In Salt Lake City (Ute territory), I was surprised to see baggage being loaded from a BYU transport vehicle. This scene really made my day.
You've got to love those pesky, independent cougars!

Oh how hilarious! AT least they made the mood lighter by joking around. Dayle JR. read this and thought it was pretty clever! WOW! And that BYU loading cart? Couldn't be more perfect! Ha ha. Thanks so much for coming. I can't believe you are already gone! I love you very much!
Let me guess, the airline was SouthWest, right?
P.S. You should have prefaced this posting about your visit with your family in Seattle/Tacoma area.
Sounds like a crazy experience! I'm excited and anxiously waiting for more posts!
