Mystic gets snow and I'm in Portland Oregon. Can't complain too much because it is 50 degrees and sunny, but still...
The trip was eventful. The snow starting a little earlier than expected caught the PVD airport crew off guard and we had to wait 45 minutes for them to plow the runway. There weren't many on the flight so atleast we could spread out for the wait and the flight. Once in Chicago we discovered that there were about 10 of us who missed our flight to Portland and we all got to go to Kansas City. That flight was packed. I met Ricky and Ann. Ann lives in Lawrence and after a lifetime of being a Republican has become a Democrat (and not just because of George), she's even donated money to the Obama campaign. Ricky was an engineer of some kind. Friendly guy who liked to talk.
Once in Kansas City the Portland-bound gang boarded the plan waiting at the next gate and in less than 30 minutes we were in the air again.
Portland. So far all I've done is take the Light Rail downtown to the Embasy Suites where I'll be for the next few days, and then walked around Pioneer Square. The light rail was cool. I do love mass transit, but down town was not so impressive. I could be tired however.
Back home you're all enjoying the snow.
