Weather Delays

My Eyes Are Rolling Back Into My Head Already


Have I ever mentioned that I’m what is known as a “Road Warrior”?

Well, if I haven’t—I’m saying so now.

I’m an expert traveler—domestically and internationally, and although I do my best to have a good time traveling, anyone that has traveled for a living knows the truth of what I say…

TRAVELING BY AIR GENERALLY SUCKS...

at least it does if you’re not the one doing the flying. Since my 3rd class FAA medical has run out, I have to sit in one of the rear seats and the view from there just isn’t quite the same.

Also, if the moronic crowds and amateur travelers don’t get you, the weather always will.

That would be the case today…the weather, that is.

Don’t get me wrong here…things are obviously better in 2006 than they were in the days of Conestoga wagon trains on the old Chisholm trail and all that, but just damn—I’m sitting here watching the Weather Channel and looking at the NOAA web site and I can already see that my flight from Brunswick to Atlanta and/or my flight from Atlanta to Charleston will probably be delayed.

Bumpy as hell flight time will most likely ensue, but I still have to leave for the airport at 5:00 AM else risk missing my flight.

At least I have all day to get where I’m going, and I have absolutely nothing productive to do until Monday, so I guess I’ll just sit in the airports and twiddle my thumbs and pick my nose and try to take a nap if I can find a comfortable chair.

I’d almost rather not know my fate and take my chances with any surprises that pop up, but instead I’m forced to add a couple of additional hours of DREAD to my overextended itinerary of time wasting torture.

Will someone please hit the “EASY” button?
