Nothing Much to Report

I honestly do not know what to write about. Strange thing, that. Perhaps it is because I just came back from a week-long vacation in California and Nevada. Or, perhaps it is because I am still in shock over airline delays and generally poor service.

Of course, the airline I was on had pretty good service, on the trip between Chicago and Columbus. The airline steward was funny and seemed personally interested in our well being. Still, no peanuts or pretzels. And, only one small cup of liquid refreshment.

The reason for the delay getting home? The bathroom door would not lock. That took 1.5 hours to get repaired. You see, they cannot fly if the bathroom door cannot lock or unlock from the outside. Safety is important.

So, the lock had to be replaced. Oh, yeah. They could have just shut down the bathroom for the 54 minute flight. However, airline regs require that a "shut down" of a bathroom requires taping closed the door and locking the door from the outside.

And the lock would not lock from the outside. So, the lock was replaced.

And yes, we did arrive home ONLY 1.5 hours after expected.

That is an improvement over the 5 hour delay between Chicago and Los Angeles on the way to vacation!
