EEK! Mechanical Problems! - Saturday, 29 September


This morning I got a message that my direct Minneapolis to Paris flight was canceled. Mechanical troubles. EEK!

After some back-and-forthing I was re-booked to an MSP-DTW-CDG itinerary. The only problem (other than an undesirable layover) was that I needed to leave home 3+ hours earlier.  And I still had to bring Cyrus the Great out to Cat Nap Inn. And pack my suitcase.  And finish some projects.


A few hours later, here I sit in Detroit waiting for my burger in a sports bar.  And trying to remember what, in my haste, I forgot to pack!  Oh, well.  Better to be a bit flustered than to be flying through the atmosphere in a defective tin can. And lookie, I can see them loading my plane from my table!  And the cuisine can ONLY get better.
