Travel Tip

Fly in the morning.  Trust me.


Exhibit A - Chicago in the morning on Wednesday.  See the clear sky?


Same sky at 4:30pm, two hours before I would take off - or rather try to take off.  After this, tornado sirens sounded, lightening split the sky and wind buffeted the plane I was sitting in while the worst of the storm blew through.

Young woman next to me was hugging a pillow pet.  Sweet?  Indication of mental instability?  I'm going with sweet, because she didn't try to engage me in conversation, didn't make annoying sniffling or coughing noises, and was nice when I woke her up to turn the alarm off on her BlackBerry.
