Flight Delays and Burning Fuel Overhead

B. notified us that already, his first flight is delayed an hour.  "Check the news", he said.

Hmmmm.



Turns out Southwest Flight 382 made an emergency landing at Oakland this morning, after doing this for four hours.  Ironic since that 'triangle' space just to the left from the 'circling' is known as The Tracy Triangle - so his future flight was over us for a long time, burning fuel.  Landing gear issues. Thankfully, everyone is OK and the flight landed safely.  And B. being delayed is a small price to pay for the safety of the passengers and crew aboard the flight.

I've done a couple work things that couldn't wait.  Heading out to Winco shortly and sending J. to Costco - we've done some quasi-meal planning - have to say quasi 'cuz we know with certainty B. will be out and about a fair amount.  He is planning to have friends over on Saturday so I'm planning some finger foods - spinach/artichoke dip, cheese straws and some cookies and other sweets. And lots of beer.  :-)

J. told me that B. wanted to surprise me by being early - but J. thought he wouldn't be able to pull it off.  (I think he could have - but oh well).  It was still a sweet thought.

Sunny and clear today - huge windstorm blew off most of the remaining leaves from our trees, so consequently, the pool and spa are a mess.  Good thing it's Wednesday 'cuz the pool guy should be here today.  Hopefully.
