When I landed last night in Alabama.....there was a crowd waiting to celebrate somebody in the military ( lots of flags and soldiers).

Anyway, my bag wasn’t there. They told me there were two more flights from Atlanta - so I could just wait (how nice of them) or they could bring it to the hotel.

Seems if the bags are too heavy, they spread the load over several planes.

The next plane was only 15 minutes away so I waited and watched the celebration (it wasn’t on that flight either).

It showed up at the hotel in the wee hours, however.

Off I go.

Good morning, Raven dear. What in the world is going on in Leroy (pronounced LEE-roy, instead of leh-ROY)? Last I knew there was nothing there but pigs and pine trees. And why didn’t you drive? If it were me, I would have gone down the interstate to Chattanooga to B’ham to Montgomery and then across to Leroy. I really hate to fly.

LB, thank you for the kind words. It was my pleasure to start the thread. I really enjoy this thread. It gives me an opportunity to comment on life’s happenings w/o having to stick to a specific current event (on news threads).

Kassie, I’m hoping you’ll get power today. One, two days w/o power can be challenging, rise-to-the-occassion type stuff. But more than that it is just wearying.

Crude oil has dropped below $92 @ barrel. Gas prices in my area are very high.
