Delays

I have decided that summer air travel is much more unpredictable than winter. I really have not had many problems this winter, other than being cold. The flights usually were on time and I have always had my STUFF since I quit checking my luggage. But the summer storms have started and my TRIALS have begun.

I am in Milwaukee, waiting on my connection back to Kansas City. I was to be here about 2 hours. BUT, the first screen I saw said my flight was 'DELAYED'. I went to a 'restaurant' and ordered a glass of wine at the bar. (The tables were full). I chatted with two policemen from Cleveland who were on their way to Dallas to pick up a prisoner who was delinquent with child support. They had been here four hours and were not sure they were going to make it to Dallas in time to pick him up tomorrow morning and head home. I finished the wine and went back to my gate to check out the 'delay'. Right now the plan is that I won't leave until 9PM, which means I won't be home until much later than I wanted to be.

The good news is that I don't have to leave Kansas City until next Tuesday.
