I'm in Iowa (family), to be back in town tomorrow...but have to go through Chicago, and set to arrive at around 5:30pm. Not good, not good. I'm probably going to be stuck in Chicago. I already tried calling this afternoon about an earlier flight...as to be expected with holiday travel volume, absolutely NOTHING earlier I can get on.

Hoping/praying my flight can make it from Chicago!!

Book a rental car in Chicago and drive... it will be faster.

I better leave now if I'm going to pull that off...they'll probably have Pena closed by 1:00.

I've got a bad history of falling asleep at the wheel, so doing the 10 hour drive solo through the night is not a good idea for me, unfortunately.

Probably will go to the airport at 5:30am, and hope to get on something earlier standby...

**Lone Star** · 12-28-2006, 12:43 PM

"Multiple Accidents. Major Delays." on I-70. Should be impossible, err, impassible (nothing's impossible) in another hour or two.

and dumping at Sol Vista's redheaded stepchild a little ways' down 40.

**ColMan** · 12-28-2006, 12:59 PM

Looks pretty ugly.

**Yossarian** · 12-28-2006, 01:06 PM

well fuck. I'm gonna get really hosed on this one.

Last one, we got out during the storm on Wed (?) afternoon - still took us 3 hours to get to Frisco. Woke up early, and had a foot at Keystone, mostly to ourselves. Came back down to Denver Thur PM and it looked like a war zone.

I'd love to get out of town right now, ahead again, but the gf has a dentist thing in another hour or two, and her Chi-town friends are hypothetically arriving later tonight at DIA. Originally scheduled for Fri mid-day, so I told them to change to Thur mid-day if they wanted to get in at all. Of course, they ended up on an 8pm flight, which is probably only marginally better than Friday morning.

I'm sure they'll be delayed, which means we've got no shot of getting out tonight, which means we'll be fucked in the AM by the traffic shitshow on Friday AM.

Sigh.
