Headed Home
Heading home from Milwaukee - last trip of the year, I believe. Had to pause in my rush through security to video these kids bravely playing near E Concourse in the Milwaukee airport:
I have missed a horrific week of rain and wind in Seattle, it sounds like. I watched a bit of the Seahawks game last night that was played in Seattle, and even though you could see the rain coming down and water on the field, there was little hint of the absolute havoc that was occurring elsewhere in the city. When I called home today, I learned that my house had been without power for 12 hours. Their (our) power came on about 3, but the cable is still out, so Mrs. Perils has not made her rounds to your blogs yet today.
I hope the cable comes back soon. I have a dialup account, but… Actually, I could just hang out here in the Northwest Worldclub in Minneapolis until I hear for certain that the cable is back on, couldn’t I? There’s free WiFi, free drinks and nibbles, even an espresso machine, although it serves wretched coffee (Egbert & Douwe or something like that - they took out perfectly lovely Acorto machines that ground real coffee beans). But, nah, I’ll board my Seattle-bound 757 at 9:40, and hope my landing at Seatac doesn’t go like this one:
Update: Seatac’s been closed off & on today as they’ve had power outages and wind damage. I just checked my flight, and it’s delayed a half-hour “due to airport conditions”. Be careful what you wish for, I guess.
